The :citations-needed: boys seem like good kids, but listening to them, they haven't completely eliminated their :LIB: :brainworms: .

One manifestation of this is that they seem to be deliberately avoiding a China episode, on the eve of a new cold war and in the middle of a propaganda storm. It appears that Adam has written many articles debunking anti-China stuff, so it doesn't look like it's bias. Please offer your speculation on why there's no episode of CN about it in the comments.

Anyone got any thoughts?

    Other than it being the single most obvious possible subject for a media bias podcast in 2021 which they've completely ignored, it's been requested and they pointedly ignore it.

      Ugh, Twitter shit? Pass.

      Jokes aside, Adam in particular is like, way too online. He's on Twitter all the time, I've seen him take like half a dozen "breaks" from it and post all the way through it lol. So I'm not going to read too far into them having blocked somebody for that tweet.

      Would be interesting to see if they responded to a request on Patreon for one? Not that I'm going to sign up to their Patreon, lol.

        That's why I posted here, wanted more people to weigh in and see if we can figure out what's going on.

        And lol @ Patreon, let me just tie all my subversive media consumption to a credit card in my name.

          Yeah, exactly. I considered supporting some smaller YouTubers I liked for a while, but I tried to sign up to Patreon with a fake name and burner email address (didn't even get to the credit card stage) and they immediately locked my account and asked for government issue ID to prove my identity lmao. No thanks.
