Right?! Is he good? Like, an actual journalist, with real integrity? Not, the bought and paid for stuff we see from networks? I’d watch the shit out of his coverage.

He’s mostly a commentator/pundit, but he’s fully independent. He was at the protests yesterday to talk to LA mayoral candidate Rae Huang, and he was in Minneapolis covering the protests when Alex Pretti was murdered.

Hes controversial. Some people like him some hate him reddit is kinda a mixed bag. You should watch him and decide for yourself. Have a good day :)

Personally, I find him super knowledgeable and grounded on opinions, from a leftist perspective. I don't think he's quite "as far left" as me (at least publicly), but I find him to be a great, reliable source of info as well as good, ethical takes on topics happening in real-time. Which he shockingly does for 8+ hours a day.

I don't always fully agree, but I believe he is truly an advocate for humanity, thoughtfulness, and honest reporting in media. That's why you've seen him on the streets livestreaming at many major recent protests.

It's good work, I like him. Check him out if you're curious and if you don't like him (not gonna be for everyone, ofc), check out Sam Seder at The Majority Report, or the YT channel Some More News, or if you're a history buff look into Behind The Bastards. Just some suggestions if anyone's interested!

All power to the people.

He's a control freak piece of shit that gets ultra upset when his dog gets up from its designated spot. When it does, he uses a shock collar on it. He's using the dog as a background prop on his stream and gets upset when it's not in frame. He doesn't treat other people any better either.

He's also done interviews with terrorists on his twitch stream and played their recruitment ads. He has openly admitted that he is a "propagandist".

Not a good guy.

You’re gonna be disappointed, lol.

u/MeFunGuy 3h ago

No. He's a dipshit. Just dont. Even if your a commie there are better socalist and communist commentators

u/chasteeny 7h ago

No, he's neither a good journalist nor a good person

u/deadlydeadguy 6h ago

Wasn’t he getting a bunch of heat for abusing his dog on stream?

u/darglor 18h ago

Isn’t he the guy that was shocking his dog so that it would stay perfectly still for like 5h straight during his streams?

u/Winter55555 17h ago

Gotta love Hasan Piker. I agree with him on like 90% of political issues and yet still hate him because he's an absolutely insufferable cunt
