I hear he is very good though. Just cannot get past the screaming headlines.

I rarely watch their videos anymore. The headlines tend to be misleading and the splashy words and arrows have a really cheesy look to them. Also I don't need so much commentary basically telling me what I just saw.

Sometimes, I click just to check it out. Inevitably, I regret it.

I couldn't get the first minute of this one.

And Miselas is indeed good, but like so very many of these people, he takes too much time getting to the point. Glenn Kirchner is another example of this.

If I listen, it is usually at 1.5x speed.

of MTN. The headlines have become a turn off to me and Ben editorializing as much as he does is also a turn off.

Trying to excuse the sensationalism by saying others do it?

I thought they were trying to be different, not just be the loudest sensationalists out there.

I wish MT would start shifting from this crap to the kind of headlines that should be out there that tell the truth.
Like Trump LIES or Normandy criticizes Hegseth after demeaning speech. I would be more likely to click if it was based in reality and more professional.

It totally missed the entire purpose of the Normandy invasion. We fought in WWII to stop that kind of arrogant, delusional racism that the Nazis spread.

Didn't Hegseth get the memo? The Normandy invasion was about killing the Nazis not making them welcomed to spread their ideology of hate.

their OWN countries, so he damn well better actually be banned.

France is a start. But this should have been done a while ago, for everyone in the regime who keeps attending these events in Europe (many of them are openly fascist conventions and the like) and making these crazy-ass speeches telling Europeans to be more like them.
