He’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I’m delighted he’s intent on unearthing things, but watching his stuff is work to me. He’s a bit of a rabble-rouser, he doesn’t make much of an attempt to stay balanced on a subject. It’s the ‘calls it as he sees it’ kind of thing that I tend to stay away from. When he starts going off on speculation, you have to keep an eye out for other explanations. I think he needs to add a good dose of Hanlon’s razor to his reporting. It’s great that he unearths things, but i’d rather get his findings filtered through another party that has the time to question his findings before they’re presented to me.
And lest I get accused of being an LTT fanboy, they suck in the opposite way. When GN and LTT got in their ‘fight’ I stopped watching them both.
There are numerous outlets that feature investigative journalists who don’t trigger my red flag alarms every other time I see them. He has uncovered some good stuff, but it feels like he’s trying to manufacture a steady stream of outrage when 2/3 of the stories are more in the realm of yeah, that’s not ideal, but it fucking scans.
If you like him definitely watch him. Just keep some salt at the ready.

He’s an investigative journalist. I fucking expect him to be a rabble rouser.
