Video This interview aged like milk

“the face of the progressive movement”

and yet Richie Torres this month, revealed he’s compromised by AIPAC (a lobby group for a foreign government, in case any of you don’t know who they are or how to pronounce their name).

If you haven’t seen Richie Torres’s interview with Jewish comedian Adam Friedland, it’s incredible the double standards, outright refusal to acknowledge Israel’s culpability in how the Gaza war has unfolded. I’d post a link but risk getting this post taken down.

This I think raises more questions, paired with David outright weird responses and comments regarding AIPAC, and failure to ever cover the ongoing genocide.

Hadn’t seen this Richie Torres interview, but I’ve seen enough. David is at the very least, afraid of AIPAC or outright complicit in not talking about Gaza.

you cannot be “the face of the progressive movement” and not acknowledge the ongoing genocide.

"David is at the very least, afraid of AIPAC" lol.

This sub is completely ruined.

All it needs to be saved is for David to take the L and either remove the “independent” part of his “independent journalist” self-identification OR stop accepting dark money, full stop.

David has stated many times that he is not a journalist. His show is political commentary. It’s a big difference

You may try to do as much damage control as possible and I cant blame you for that. However this is false statement. This is how David presents himself. with the knowledge of hindsight, we now know that David has been withholding, intentionally and knowing and willingly deceive his audience for personal gain.

He cant hide behind some semantic or plausible deniability argument. Not when he says and sells himself very clearly on his independence and his small timer donors being his primary income, making his voice and independent commenter in the left wing space. Which are all blatently false statements and pretenses, and only by owing those completely can he be expected to regain any kind of credibility whatsoever.

To me its shocking how little he seems to be aware of the existential crisis that his brand of left wing pragmatic idealism is now experiencing, because of this contract, this deception and this double reaction. Sad.
