Evan Bernstein Resigns from SGU

If you actually want to refute that SGU spread misinformation (rather than lying about it), I linked to the thread.

OK, you go first. Quote what the SGU Rogues said, and then demonstrate how it was objectively false.

I'll be offline for the rest of the evening here, so I'll address your points tomorrow.

But seriously, please be honest.

I'm tired of having to address every bit of dishonest drivel that people have been slinging at me in that thread.

What specific "objectively false information" did they spread? And can you back up that claim with evidence?

Perhaps we should continue this discussion over there in the pertinent thread.

There is already a thread specifically about the misinformation spread by Novella on SGU, which I already linked to in my first post here. That is the place to discuss this. I already detailed all the evidence in the first post in the linked thread. I am not going to go over it all again in another thread. (You do understand that where the text is blue coloured this is a link you can click on, right?)
 
I do not agree with Bernstein, but hate to see SGU require a particular political stance.
 
And somehow I think the people cheering this on would scream bloody murder if somebody were forced out due to left wing opinions.
 
I'm sort of shocked to learn that Evan held such views. He didn't give off that sort of vibe to me.

TBH, I haven't been listening to the podcast as regularly as I used to, as I have more podcasts in my feed than I can get to. Although I still subscribe and sometimes get around to it.

I don't think Evan ever discussed his religion, but is he Jewish? And if so, a Zionist? That could explain it I suppose, but he never discussed that side of himself, or even hinted at it, on the show.

My understanding is that he wasn't "forced out".

I have yet to see exactly what he said, although I'm sure that someone on the internet has preserved it for posterity.

He wasn't. Steve was looking for a way forward, and Evan called him and told him that he had decided to resign.

This is all explained in the first ten minutes of the episode I posted above. I suggest listening to it.

I could say the same about a couple of people here when it comes to the Palestinian/Israeli issue.

Define Zionist. Another term that has a number of meanings

I think I heard him once on Cara's podcast saying that he was a Republican and they were talking about how it is nonetheless great that they can agree to disagree on politics.

I think she also had Dave Rubin on and said much the same. I don't think that friendship aged well, and Rubin was always an idiot anyway.

I'm sure that there are many different ideologies and degrees of zealotry within Zionism, but I think we all know what it means in a general sense.
You can take it mean basically "Pro-Israel" (and pro-Israeli policies and collective actions) for this purpose.
 
Color me unsurprised. Many years ago when I listened to SGU I heard Evan pontificate about 9-11 deniers and The Left (don’t recall what term he used) being overlapping populations. He listed a bunch of alleged celebrity deniers to support his claim- the ones I recall were Michael Moore (who won an Oscar for a documentary about 9~11), George Clooney and Alec Baldwin. I sent him a (polite) email challenging these (whom AFAIK never expressed trutherism) and as evidence he directed me to - wait for it - Infowars! I obviously couldn’t stomach him as a voice for skepticism thereafter and soon stopped listening altogether.

Yeah, Probably.
But it is possible to support Israel's survival and oppose current Israeli Policy..which is where I Stand.

What a stupid and belligerent thing to say. Typical right-wing projection, pretending to know the thoughts of people you've never even met.

I can only speak for myself, but if somebody in the SGU said that all Trump voters should be lined up and executed, I would expect the Rogues to remove that person from the cast.
