I’ve been sensing a Bari pivot towards the establishment in the past few podcasts and it made me wonder-did the FBI put a horse head in her and Nellie’s bed because of the Twitter files?

I’ve been sensing a Bari pivot towards the establishment in the past few podcasts and it made me wonder-did the FBI put a horse head in her and Nellie’s bed because of the Twitter files?
But after this podcast I’m thinking it’s because she's worried she'll become a ‘guru’ and perhaps forcing some establishment broccoli down her contrarian subscriber's throats will help remedy that?
I’m not sure I buy the guru argument in the first place. It sounds to me like sophomoric hero worship. A British newscaster finds Jordan Peterson’s work amazing but then he sees mean tweets so has to disavow him?? Can’t he just treat Peterson like a human who has flaws and take the good with the bad? Since when did liking someone’s work mean you have to care about anything else in their life? At the end, Helen (who I’m convinced is really Emma Thompson) suggests we direct our need to follow toward dead authors. Why because they can remain a figment of your imagination and not challenge you with mean tweets? If you need to follow someone who cannot disappoint you by being human why not pick a classic that has stood the test of time like Jesus or the Buddha?
Bari, no one here sees you as a guru. We subscribe to you and the Free Press to hear stories and perspectives we can’t get anywhere else. When local news died so did the feeder system to the coasts about what is really happening in 'fly over' country. We want you to find those stories and the reporters who are out there in these places, without fancy college degrees (remember what you said on Bill Maher) who can share these perspectives.
Do more debates! Have one on energy. Are we really jumping off a cliff by forcing our grids onto renewables?
But Emily Oster, Ken Burns, Helen Lewis, with all due respect...we can get that perspective anywhere.
Still love you… and especially Nellie. OK…maybe Nellie is my guru ;-)
If you buy this as a serious media outlet, I think it's fine to interview more mainstream people. Just ask them some tough questions and call them out on their BS.

American campus craziness is overrated?
