I'm not in any way a fan of Jimmy Dore's content. I don't watch his channel regularly, and often when I see his comments online, I'm underwhelmed at best. He isn't particularly funny, insightful, or interesting to me. Watching his channel for a few weeks didn't really change my mind.

I can understand his appeal insofar that he provides an emotional release for people. He expresses a rage that represents the frustration a lot of people have with the system. And I don't think being angry is a bad thing. But good political commentary needs more than rage. It needs to engage with the facts in an honest and accurate way. It needs to provide direction and focus. It needs to not be counterproductive and empowering to even worse forces than the ones you're criticizing. This is where Jimmy Dore's content fails.

I think this video does an OK job of evidencing that.
