Can someone explain Tim's relevance? I've only ever known him as a slightly less popular Sargon who tries to present himself more "professionally". He has an enormous Twitter following and I don't recognize him from anything other than being KiA's favorite source of news and there's no way in hell there are enough of them to explain 223k followers.
I think it's because people who have moderate or conservative beliefs/opinions are starved for news that isn't filled with far left propaganda and catered towards one demographic, as well as not having their voices suppressed by frothing ideologues.
You think Trump is an asshole but you see some good coming from his policies?
Nazi.
Have pride for your country?
White supremacist.
You're for secure borders?
Racist baby killers.
Most people don't want others views shoved down their throats, but it's being done everywhere and if you don't like it or try to go against it, get the fuck out or make your own social media company.
So of course there's a lot of people that are going to flock to him. People know he's biased in his journalism, but he's honest about it and keeps his views within reality - he just reports on what he knows and offers his take, which is usually what most people would agree with.
If you look at the comments on the Joe Rogan podcast with Tim Pool and Jack Dorsey...'s lawyer, you know what I mean when I say people are suppressed, and it's to the point where they'll rely on a high school dropout indy journalist as their representative.
Though I do admit -
'Who will win: a lawyer employed by a social media conglomerate or one journalist beanie boy?' makes for a good meme.
