I was shocked to read his words, especially coming from him. One wonders if he will profit from pushing this stuff.

Nothing surprises me coming from Alex Berenson.

People often accuse honest people of being controlled opposition. But Alex is the actual thing. He rejects a few carefully chosen establishment narratives - and then fully embraces all the rest.

He presumptuously calls his position "Team Reality." He ridicules readers if they step out of line, by doubting more of the narratives than those he opposes. He has ridiculed readers for supporting ivermectin, for thinking vaccine injury killed Taylor Hawkins, for believing "conspiracy theories." He perpetuates Trump Derangement Syndrome, he pushes Paxlovid, etc.

Alex Berenson is with the wolves and foxes, roleplaying as a guardian of the chicken coop.

I also am troubled by his pseudo-celebrity status from his lawsuit victory against twitter. He leverages that a lot. While I fully support those who, either early on or later, spoke out against the covid tyranny, I look askance at those who have turned that gig into a lucrative enterprise.

Berenson is a Twitter-obsessed hack. He desperately wants to be invited back to the cool kids' table in NYC.

Berenson gets more pathetic by the day.

Oh my gosh, you'd think Alex could recognize a poor study like that, I'm sure most of his readers is probably can. (I unsubscribe from him long ago).

HIya, yes I don't subscibe, I still don't really know who he is. I just surfed in to this silliness when someone mentioned him, and as I had to pay to reply I thought I'd make a post instead.
