    I don’t know who Tom Pool is, but I’d stop listening to him if I were you. He’s an idiot, a crackpot or (most likely) both.

      I know him, and you are indeed correct: He’s both, as well as other traits common in the right-wing shitmosphere.

      he used to be a real journalist and he was great at finding conflicts on the ground and livestreaming them. something happened in the last 10 years, but he was, truly, a good journalist.

          he was hired by multiple news organizations, and he livestreamed ferguson and j20. (though his political bent was already starting to become a problem by then).

          he was a journalist. it’s sad what he’s become.

          i don’t recall him wading into that much at the time, but he’s definitely neck deep in culture war shit now.
