"Charlie is very fair when he asks questions"
This is bizarre on so many levels, the idea that you seem to be characterizing Charlie Kirk as some non-partisan muckraking "journalist". Charlie Kirk is not in any sense a "journalist"- just another grifter who used Daddy's money to establish Turning Point USA as a focal point of indoctrinating college students towards right wing ideals.
He doesn't bring anyone of opposite political views on his show to debate, so the idea that he asks fair questions is ludicrous. He brings people on that he already agrees with, and then by virtue of confirmation bias doesn't have to worry about having his ideas challenged...
Beyond that he's a mental midget, and there's a reason his appearances at colleges are strictly regulated about who asks questions and what they are allowed to ask. This is a google entry I found, which refers to Charlie as the next big thing in talk radio. Only problem is the "source" for that quote is charliekirk.com- nobody is hailing him as the next big thing- it's just embarrassingly shameless self promotion...

Charlie Kirk is the next big thing in conservative talk radio and he's now hosting a daily radio show called "The
Charlie Kirk Show" on the ...
Equally bizarre is the idea that you would promote the ramblings of John Ratcliffe- the least qualified person to serve as DNI in HISTORY, as if we should be impressed. If Kirk was any kind of journalist he'd ask Ratcliffe to refute that claim, which an article in WIRED pointed out during the confirmation hearings when Republicans basically turned around and ran roughshod over the qualifications both parties had insisted were necessary for a DNI. Not even Mancin or Sinema voted for this clown...From May 2020...
"Perhaps the clearest sign that three-term Texas congressman Ratcliffe
is manifestly unqualified to serve as the nation’s director of national intelligence isn’t the fact that he embellished his résumé, nor that only a minority of the US Senate would vote to confirm him, nor that the first time he was floated for the post last summer he was so soundly rejected that he withdrew almost immediately.
Instead, it’s that years before just 49 senators of the 116th Congress—all Republicans—voted to confirm him last week as the head of the nation’s 17 intelligence agencies and the president’s top intelligence adviser, the 108th Congress tried to stop a man like Ratcliffe from assuming that very role in the first place. They wrote into the law that created the job,
50 US Code § 3023,
“Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise.”
And John Ratcliffe definitely doesn’t."
John Ratcliffe is the least-qualified director of national intelligence in history—and a staunch partisan as well.

Previously votes for DNI have basically been rubber stamps, because the quality of experience was undeniable. Two have been confirmed unanimously and the rest have had a smattering of no votes .Dan Coats is probably the least qualified prior to Ratcliffe but even he was involved in foreign affairs/intelligence over a 25 yr span in Congress. Ratcliffe had 5 yrs in Congress preceded by being mayor of a small Texas town and prior to that he made money as a personal injury lawyer in Texas. As usual, Trump wanted Ratcliffe because Ratcliffe had been outspoken in defending Trump during Impeachment, and most Pubs fell in line. But 4 Pubs including people like Murkowski and Alexander who had some National Security experience decided to abstain from voting...
Now I know enough about your posting history to realize that this talk of Ratcliffe's being unqualified for the position is not going to faze you. But I just want to explain why Mark put Ratcliffe and Charlie in his post along with Epoch Times ,and why none of this stuff you're posting has the slightest bit of relevance for most of us. And when I described Charlie as a "mental midget", here is an example of Charlie claiming that the the taller the building, the more liberal the occupant...He just spews conspiracy wack and nonsense...
