I still enjoy and watch the Jimmy Dore show. Mostly because he is constantly sticking up for the little guy, has always been vocally anti-war. Has always been a front-runner in exposing propaganda coming from the Establishment - such as the Neo-McCarthyism of the Russia Disinformation campaign - or the lies about Syria gas attacks or WMD's in Iraq. I've been following Jimmy for almost a decade now, since he first appeared on TYT. I enjoy it when his co-host Aaron Mate substitutes for him. Buzzsaw Aaron Mate - whom I've followed and liked ever since he was on Democracy Now.
There are some views Dore holds that I dislike and he does seem biased. His views on the covid19 pandemic I find particularly lopsided, and feel like he has a bit of a complex over the issue, because of the divide Covid19 caused on the left (and I believe, his own personal life.) I feel his views on police (which are necessary for any civilization) are a bit extreme i.e. I don't look at a policeman and view that policeman immediately as a corrupt violent person who is going to do me in as soon as he can. I do think there are some policemen who are trying to do their job - and are necessary in order to keep a free society from devolving into criminal anarchy. I do agree police reform is needed - but wouldn't vilify police as much as Jimmy does.
So yeah, like anyone, with a big megaphone on a political platform there is good and bad. So for you, as you say, on balance Dore is counter-productive. But for me - "on balance" I still feel Dore does more good than harm- the majority of his shows really do stick up for ordinary Americans while Jimmy is always punching upward especially toward corrupt politicians and obscenely wealthy tax avoiders.
