Russell Brand’s Rant About MSNBC, Rachel Maddow Goes Viral
Yahoo! News ^ | Sat, March 4, 2023 | William Bredderman

A clip of a histrionic Russell Brand on Real Time with Bill Maher went viral on Saturday—in which the comedian, who owns multiple multi-million-dollar homes, accused political analyst and fellow guest John Heilemann of hypocrisy for criticizing Fox News from “within the castle of MSNBC.”

In the two-minute clip, a shouting Brand maintained that MSNBC was fundamentally no different from Fox News. All this, he loudly insisted, contrasts with the “real journalism” of National Security Agency consultant-turned-Russian defector Edward Snowden and former RT host Julian Assange.

Talking over Heilemann’s attempts to answer his criticism, Brand asserted that both channels are merely “mouthpieces for their affiliate owners in Blackrock and Vanguard,” naming a pair of controversial investment firms.

While Brand does make some good points, I find him very exhausting to listen too. He rambles a bit too much for me. But I can definitely see why young people would like him.

Why does he need that Porsche?


Bernie probably needs it to boost his testosterone levels. Also, at his age, his current car may well be his last. So....why not?

But my guess would have been that he drives a Toyota Prius, like Larry David.

>> He really is quite intelligent

Also well spoken and entertaining. And more importantly, speaks to the taboo issues.

I’m ambivalent about his Hollywood days. Many have seemingly awaken, and that’s paramount to whatever annoyances of the past.

I think his experience with Katy Perry woke him up.

First Woody, now Russel. The TPTB must be attuned to this. The natives are getting restless.

Whenever I listen to Russell Brand, it’s always the same thing: He’s obviously right, and the people questioning his views are obviously wrong, and I learn nothing new from their exchanges. They’re boring.

I’ll admit I subscribe to his YT channel...don’t always agree with him but he is intelligent and logical. Good for him if he has good real estate investments. Nothin’ wrong with that...

I worked a year for an ATT contractor. The first time I saw the ATT building, the word, “Kafka” popped into my head. Unfortunately, that feeling was prophetic. Mrs. Chandler finally made me quit because the job was damaging my personality.

Great question.

Was wondering what the relevance of that smear attempt statement, to the topic, was.

I know...leftists are irrelevant.

Found it! The whole show. The first 18 minutes are all Bernie Sanders. The rest...Russell Brand just shreds. Heres the whole show on Youtube:

He was saying the right things, then he praised Bernie Sanders.
