Somewhat cryptic tweet from Cherny

Need to narrow it down a bit as everybody to the right of Karl Marx is a neo-nazi these days

He's talking about Sam Newman

 

[EagleMan87]

Sam Newman, surely.

Newman would be the first name I would guess

Regardless of what you think about Sam, Daniel Cherny is an absolute ****wit.

When will 90s boy bands stop reforming.

He won’t be removed from the HOF but I think the decline of Sam Newman is now probably complete.

This guy was one of the biggest media figures in the country. He could’ve just relaxed into retirement with plenty of money and the odd guest gig.

Instead he’s a complete pariah (and a turd).

if what newman is doing now is cause to be removed from the hall of fame then surely ablett senior should have got the boot years ago.

 

[Cmarsh]

The AFL blocked Wayne Carey from being inducted into the NSW hall of fame.

Not a stretch to think the AFL will remove Newman in these circumstances.

unless you're stomping on a nazi's head, then you shouldn't be anywhere near the scum

Wonder if he'd give radical Islamists the same platform?

 

[Percel]

A sinkhole to hell would be fitting for this campaigner

Are you refering to the death of the young woman?

I know he's uber religious and remember him doing some conspiracy videos during the Covid lockdowns about the NWO. Has he thrown in his lot with these head guys as well?

One of the interviewees, Thomas Sewell, previously leaving court;


Normally I'd make a joke about how he's waving to Elon Musk,but FFS how can anybody,even an utter buffoon like Newman, give these people a platform or any publicity whatsoever.

To quote Newman from his vid above;
"Why don't you have a look at what they say and what I asked them and you make your mind up".

Call me prejudiced Sam,but I don't really need to listen to your podcast to determine what I think about these blokes.

(As an aside with any suggestion that Newman lose his place in the AFL HOF I'm tipping he and the Andrew Bolt's of this World will soon be complaining about wokeness and cancel culture, because well isn't it important to hear all side of the argument. )

There aren’t words strong enough to adequately convey how completely abhorrent that sort of thinking is.

 

[Black Panther]

Had a listen to the Podcast, as always the media going off halfcocked with confected outrage. Sam hardly supported them and actually treated them with disdain during the interview

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Removing him on the basis of interviewing a couple of radical nazi wack jobs?

Had a listen for the sake of understanding the outrage and all I heard was Newman pretty much telling them they're nuts for 55 minutes while they tried to explain their positions on different topics and sooked that Newman called them out for Holocaust denial and Hitler sympathizing.

Sam Newman should be inducted into the Dunning-Kruger effect hall of fame.

It's more about him giving them any type of platform.

Yeah.

Well that is a good thing I suppose. I mean, if I walk down the street and see a used condom in the gutter, logic, reason etc tells me it's best not to pick it up and eat it.

But maybe some people don't realise that, and having someone they trust show them such might just be a good thing after all.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Disagree with that. Some of the most interesting documentaries I've ever watched have been based around controversial figures. Former Nazi's, serial killers, members of the KKK, modern day neo Nazi's etc.

I don't agree with almost anything any of them stood for or said, but I see no harm in the content being available for viewers to consume if they so wish.

Louis Theroux was always a favorite of mine in the space of interviewing and providing insight into some of these peoples existences and thought processes regardless of whether he condoned their behavior or not.

Seems all's well with the World because Sam 'hardly supported them' and 'actually treated them with disdain' and oh Sam called 'them out for Holocaut denial and Hitler sympathizing'.

Well gosh, well done Sam.
Now the two knuckleheads above know which side of history they should be on.

I'll just quote myself;

FFS how can anybody,even an utter buffoon like Newman, give these people a platform or any publicity whatsoever.

FMD forget removal from the HOF, upgrade him to Legend status, for services to Broadcasting & The Holocaust.

Whilst I'm not a big fan of even giving them a platform - there are plenty in this world who would, and without the interrogation/ridicule they deserve. All up, Sam may have done a good thing here. I don't know (have not listened). The reason I don't know is I have a poor understanding of the folk who lap this shit up. Maybe Sam is doing us all a solid. But I really don't know.
