Disappointed Chess.com promoting hard Left pro-socialist political vlogger David Pakman

So in the next POG championships, for some reason Chess.com has decided to get political by inviting political commentator David Pakman. When people think of professional GAMERS, they don't usually think of political commentators. Another problem is that the commentator is extremely biased and, frankly, has some dangerous views in regards to supporting socialism, an ideology responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths in the last century.

Will Chess.com demonstrate some balance and invite a right-wing political online personality in a future POG championships? Somehow I doubt it. This is extremely disappointing that chess.com has decided to throw support behind someone whose ideas are so extreme, dangerous, and dishonestly biased. They should reverse course, kick David Pakman out for promoting a deadly, tyrannical political ideology and invite someone who actually fits within the description of a gamer.

Thank you for promoting that show. His comments during the latest Trump press conference were very entertaining.

I doubt my little forum post is doing one ten-thousandth of what chess.com is doing by inviting him to their popular tournament.

He has 938K subscribers. I doubt the chess tournament will change that by much.

It might bring more people to chess.com, which is the point.

Ok well clearly you missed my point. The point is that chess.com has endorsed his dangerous, tyrannical views by inviting him to their tournament, and thus have signaled their support for such radical political ideologies. I would like very much if chess.com demonstrated some neutrality by balancing the viewpoints with a right-wing commentator at some future tournament. But of course I doubt that if chess.com has chosen this guy, they have any intention of allowing someone with a different viewpoint to be part of their program.

Well, when I went to look at his channel, the only ads were from the Epoch Times, a pro-Trump newspaper, so that they will be there to provide fair and balanced coverage.
