Tucker Carlson - How many people in Iran

Vaush provided commentary, not analysis. He made a series of dubious declarations, unsubstantiated. Watching that sort of thing is a garbage method of informing yourself.

From wiki, I see that his goal is to pitch left-wing views to a right-wing audience. Conservatives don’t watch such shows to be informed; they watch them for the stroke. The left-of-center has a disturbing hack gap with the conservative side of the aisle. So I don’t disagree with Vaush’s goals and I can’t disagree with his methods. Sometimes (often) you need to fight bullshit with bullshit. Doesn’t mean I have to like the process.

I watched approximately 4 minutes of the video. If you want substantiation, I’ll probably peel this off to another thread. Do you think the first few minutes of the video were representative of Vaush’s commentary? What would be the best minute to view? You don’t have to answer those questions, but if I’m going to dive deeper, I’d want to steelman my argument.

Full disclosure: I’m a liberal, not far left. Vaush is far left (but probably not far-far left). Such positioning doesn’t bend me out of shape, but sequences of unsubstantiated assertions are near worthless for those wanting to understand the world.
