Never heard of Jimmy Dore. Not too bad. Not dissimilar from much of the other shows I've seen or heard though. Nails it, on every count.

I'm pretty sure you're not going to like him if you watch too much of his stuff. I could be wrong. I don't really know you, but I'm just basing that off of what I've seen you post about in the past here.
I don't know enough about him to know if he defines himself as a Socialist, but he does seem to bend that way. But, man, when he gets things right he REALLY gets things right.
I'd say that I strongly agree with about 80% of anything he'd have to say on politics. I'm undecided on about 10%, and I'd strongly disagree with the other 10%.
One thing that I really love about him though, even when he's talking about things that I disagree with, is his honestly. I don't think I've ever found myself thinking "wait... what you just said is hypocritical based off of this other thing that you just said.
He's got integrity. A LOT of it. That's a rare commodity these days in the media on either side. I'm willing to overlook almost anything else if I can honestly say that about somebody.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

BTW... you can see a few of his more memorable videos here:

And this is probably the best 6 minutes I've ever seen him in.

On the Monday following the release of Barr’s memo, “The Rachel Maddow Show” opened with a laundry list of unanswered questions. Her monologues throughout that week continued to pound the drum on the fact that we hadn’t seen the entire report, and wonder what it could be hiding.
Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi describes the pivot as a “massive machinery of ass-covering,” and notably, he does so as part of his explanation of why he chose Maddow to share the cover of his upcoming book “Hate Inc.” with Hannity. “Rachel Maddow is not on the cover of this book because of anything she did by mistake, because Russiagate turned out to be a bad guess. She’s on the cover because of what she did on purpose,” he says, which is to transform into “a towering patriotic media cudgel, a depressingly exact mirror of Hannity.”

Rachel Maddow is wrong and right: The problem with trying to be Fox News for the Left
The recent drubbing of Maddow shows both peril and truth in the idea that liberals need to mimic the Fox News model

The mediasphere’s gleeful pummeling of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in the days following #MuellerTime makes me recall two prescient columns written by fellow TV critic Tim Goodman.
The first, published while the hangover from Trump’s election was still fresh in November 2016, wears this headline: “In Order to Survive, Cable News Should Go Full Anti-Trump.”
Goodman explains, “From this point forward, people still watching the ‘news’ will want anger and action, not analysis. They will not want someone from the other side having a say. To the extent they'll want any facts at all, it will be to explain what the hell President Trump mucked up on that given day, and they will want a blowtorch in the teleprompter.”
“Revenge, anger, outrage, hot-blooded hectoring, calls to action and nonstop anti-Trump rhetoric is what people will want — in basically that order,” he adds. “And they might not know they want it — and want it so badly they'll come back night after night — until you give it to them.”
He restates this two years later almost to the day, in November 2018. “The Left Is Long Overdue For Its Own Fox News,” blared that column’s header. Aptly it is illustrated with a photo of Maddow, the poster model for MSNBC’s left-wing partisanship.
I’ve been reading Tim’s work since the earliest days of my career as a pop culture writer and a critic and consider him to be a friend. Like all critics and friends, we agree on some things and disagree on others, and in the end the world keeps spinning.
But these observations are interesting in the context of the current Maddow backlash, because they have the rare distinction of being utterly correct from the 20,000 foot-high view of the news landscape, and utterly wrong for the poor schmoes traversing the same territory on the ground.

Rachel Maddow cuts away from Trump's victory speech while one of her minions laughs, then tells viewers it's "irresponsible" to allow Trump to have a platform to "knowingly lie."
