A progressive talk show host found most popularly on YouTube.
David identifies as a social
democrat and differs from other progressive hosts in his more structured, more thoughtful, though not overly emotional analysis. His videos and show are filled with less ranting and more thoughtful dissections of news events, political issues, and more.
David also takes an hours worth of
phone calls weekly open to any lucky caller, showcases received emails, and has been on numerous other shows, including a few conservative ones. He also features writers of books in interviews, mostly political ones.
He surprisingly hate from socialists calling him a shill and centrist, which could be further from the
truth.
David is mostly funded by YouTube ad revenue, viewer yearly subscriptions ($20 usually), and lastly, somewhat annoying YouTube sponsorships. This allows him to put himself in the 'independent media'
space.
David has an hour show almost every weekday complemented with a 10 min bonus show. To get them the moment they come out, you must be a members. Non-members will eventually get the hour show content on YouTube at a slower pace.
David also streams on Twitch and YouTube, especially when newsworthy events happen.
Generally, he is respected for his willingness to debate the other side. Some argue that he's one of the best political commentators out there due to these reasons, but as always, that's up to you to decide, even if you
don't like him.
Individual:
David Pakman? I've heard bad things about him.
Pak-man: Nah dude, you just gotta give him a chance. Come on, let's watch a video together, your pick.
*Days later*
Person: Dude, I've watched every video and payed for the membership without the 66% discount he almost always has!! I've super active on his subreddit, gifted over 100 subs on his twitch, almost always super chats, bought his merch, I've told my family and
friends all about him, converted over 45 strangers, and even wrote this cool definition on urban
dictionary!
