Rebutting Russell Brand

Hello you 5.2 million awakening lights – yellow and red, looping and swirling and swirling, bright flashes illuminating the horizon . Tickets are still available for Russell’s tour, and pricing includes the “Hug a Sex Pest” portion of the show, where celebrants get to lay hands on Russell, a recovering sex addict, for purely wholesome reasons. Just in time for the next wave of COVID, so be sure to eschew any prophylactics, including social distancing, masks, or vaccines. Still, who’d of thought ten years ago that you’d go to a Russell Brand gig and the infection you’d have to worry about picking up from him was a respiratory one? Am I right, girls? Talking of infections and vaccines and such, Russell

 My Sh*t Take on Russell’s Sh*t Take on Congressional War Profiteering Originally posted to Reddit  Saturday 19th March 2022 Ok, so this is pretty much something I already posted in reply to someone else asking what I thought about Russell’s video of March 18th “You couldn’t make this sh*t up”, about war profiteering by members of US congress. I thought I’d share as a new post, just to bask in your approbation and opprobrium. Russell’s sources:  [Benzinga](https://www.benzinga.com/amp/content/26063227) [Business Insider](https://africa.businessinsider.com/politics/american-made-javelin-and-stinger-missiles-are-heading-to-ukraine-at-least-18-members/fvp7k4z.amp) [Prospect](https://prospect.org/power/another-possible-congressional-stock-trading-loophole/) [The Intercept](https://theintercept.com/2022/03/10/ukraine-russia-nato-weapons/) Original (kinda) post as follows: Not his shittest take, but still up to his old shenanigans. 1. Why not post links to the sources in the description? It’

One thing I’ve learned over the last few months following Russell is his capacity to misattribute and obscure sources. Along with his blatant cherry-picking of content, often from within a single source, and relying on opinion writing as if it was news journalism, it is clear that, despite his protestations, Russell Brand does not care for any standard of journalistic integrity. Nothing could throw that into sharper relief than his post to YouTube of March 15th whining about social media “censorship” on the same day that two Fox News journalists died while covering the war in Ukraine. One day after another US video journalist was killed, and less than a month after Sky News released terrifying footage of a news crew taking fire as they drove through Ukraine. Russell likes to present himself as an alternative to traditional news organizations even as he leeches off them. It’s been said before that Russ

Maybe the answer is to do nothing at all… Hello you 5.1 million blossoming onions, grass-fed organic trolls, and yoga adjacent wine aunts! Just a reminder that Russell does have a live tour planned for the UK. COVID numbers are on the rise again, so the maskless group hug is at your own risk. You can find details of the venues on Russell’s website so feel free to write to them asking for their position on the Ukraine crisis and if it is compatible with hosting a Putin apologist like Russell Brand. Apologies, this is a long one, but here we go!  On the 13th of March Russell released a video of himself reading an article by Julia Rock and David Sirota on Sirota’s new-media news site, the Daily Poster. David Sirota is a journalist, former Bernie speechwriter, and the Oscar-nominated creator of the recent Netflix hit satire about COVID

I have removed the original text of this post from Blogger as it may, inadvertently, contravene Google policies on dismissing the war on Ukraine. To be clear, these are policies that I support. The original post was a parody and is still visible on Reddit at the link at the bottom of this post.
