He's much more willing to talk about people and topics that the MSM won't touch—Tim Pool, Alex Jones, Twitter bans, etc.—so he looks legit when you judge by that. But if you pay attention to the content of his show, it's a lot of fence sitting. Like when he had Tim Pool on about Twitter bias with Jack Dorsey and that other woman (I think she's Twitter's legal counsel or something).
She kept talking in circles and he never called her on it. Plus, as other people have pointed out/memed on in the comments, he does a lot of "both sides have a point" and "well, I wouldn't want to claim expertise" no matter how clear something is. It's practically at the level where you could tell him "drinking water is good" and he'd say "there are lots of good drinks."
Don't get me wrong, it's admirable that he tries to stay neutral as a host, and it is important to let your guests talk. But I don't think he gets the balance quite right.
People think he's legit still. Not real sure why, but they do.
He’s not legit, but he’s a good interviewer. He does create an entertaining show even out of boring topics.
People are sheepish, tbh.
