Dave Rubin and His Toxicity Towards the Left

The "Regressive" Left is a term you can often hear Dave Rubin spouting off. He claim's to be liberal while causing a rift between the Progressives and Liberals. Dave Rubin is the same man who used to spout off Progressive ideals on The Young Turks. So what really changed. During a recent TYT video, It was revealed that Dave Rubin wanted a six-figure salary. Now he is taking funding by one of the Koch brothers. Does Rubin really care about politics or has it always been about the money? As of now, I am leaning towards the money part. He aimlessly lets the right pop off racist and xenophobic ideals while on his show. Then he says that Progressives are not for free speech. Progressives want free speech. That also does not mean that people who are Progressive are going to lay down while someone is shouting out a harmful rhetoric. Dave, what are you seriously doing? You can say something, you are not impeding on free speech. There is still open dialog if you explain that those ideals seem harmful. I am seriously the "Regressive" one?

Transparency In The Media

Lately, there has been something on my mind. Something I have noticed recently when it comes to the media, and news organizations; there does not seem to be a lot of transparency. You have one side stating their agenda, and then you have another side stating theirs. When has this become reality? Each person has their own truths and they look for others to validate that. I am someone who does this as well. The Left speaks to me, and my truths and I want them to be reality. What I am missing is what exactly is the truth. Media has become our own Trojan Horse. For me, I enjoy The Young Turks and slowly, but surely I have come to the realization that even though, I do hold the same ideals and thoughts on morality as they do; there should not be room in news and media for constant bad mouthing of the other side. Sure if they are not upholding decent human rights, then yes say something. The constant slander at one another has gotten to the point where one just spins their own truths. Network news is the most guilty of this. When has Buzzfeed become the site to call out when other news sites should be? What is true anymore?
