That’s quite confused. The fact that Vaush is not an academic or an established intellectual, like Chomsky, Wolff, and Cornel West, does not in any way address the fact that the hatred against Vaush is deranged and fact free.

Do I want to pay to hear Chomsky, Wolff, and Cornel West being interviewed by fairly shallow non-academics for the nth time? Not really.

Why pay to see Vaush here then? Well he is, like all these leftists media figures, important for how he impacts regular people and helps nudge the overton wind, not because he is some leading intellectual academically speaking. Vaush is a fantastic new voice in this sense, that also sharpens this leftist media space in his own ways.

And the meeting of Vaush and Krystal and Kyle is about a kind of symbolic healing of a sad rift in the left, post Bernie/Biden elections and especially FTV. This interview is symbolically very interesting for such reasons.

I am not personally interested in who Krystal and Kyle interviews next. But I would like to see Vaush talk to Chomsky about their shared opinion that FTV is deeply idiotic.

Also, putting Chomsky, Wolff, and Cornell West in the same sentence like that with Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi means you are not a very serious person.

Well I did not put them in 'same sentence', Krystal and Kyle did, as these were some of the most known people they had on the show. So credit them for that..

As for you not being interested to see ANYONE but Vaush.

Yeah, that doesn't sound as close-minded sycophantic cultism at all..

It's a bit difficult for you to grasp the points I make, isn't it? That's why you're not addressing any of them, right? That's ok. Love all around.
