To be honest, I leaned on the side of "naive normie" when dealing with Hannity for a long while…. But it was also nagging at me that he was sort of… Wheel-spinning. At no point would he really deliver anything hard-hitting. Obama was a "rigid ideologue." He never seemed to understand things …. Stuff I could find easily on the internet in relation to current events or geopolitics would never be reported on by any of these people.
And it wasn't just out of evading outcry. I get that not every place can be 8chan and radio stations even less like the wild woods of the internet…. But I could never figure out if Hannity was "on our side" or just giving us a place to vent to while not really supporting anything that would be more than idle banter.
I hate to say it - but in terms of actually putting points on the board, Glenn Beck kind of had the edge on him. Though Glenn Beck is … More an agent of the mormon church than anything else - so… The enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend, so to speak.
Michael Savage…. Is… Good at pointing people at something to get outraged about. I'll put it that way. If you look at how the personalities are graduated - those who find Hannity too soft will migrate to Beck for feelz or Savage for painz. Each graduation of the system has its own means for dealing with its target group and organizing them into something ineffective or counterproductive.
Alex Jones kind of fit on that scale - he was one of the only sources outside of the completely random Coast to Coast program for the passionately curious - if you could tolerate the drama and enjoy the suntan from the heat of his glow (or just thought glowing was a good thing, because any light in the darkness is more comforting than none).
What a mess.
