Of course not, it would be strange to agree with everything anyone says. I listen to Shapiro and his Daily Wire brethern even though I hardly agree with everything they say and consider most of them to be far too eager with the God hammer - Shapiro is one of the better ones in that respect, probably because Judaism doesn't proselytise - mostly because I want to get their perspective as a counterweight to the mostly 'progressive' news media. If I agreed with everything they or the 'progressive' media said I would not need to listen to or read what they produce because I already agree.

As to the downvoted list I agree with some - Friedman, Rogan, Shapiro - but I just can't listen to Sam Harris any more due to his extreme TDS and his inability to recognise when he has been wrong on something - the SARS2 unpleasantness being an example of such. He was an interesting part of the 'intellectual dark web' which was a much-needed counter to the mentioned 'progressive' narrative pushed by the media but he went off the rails first when Trump became president for the first time and later when SARS2 hit. For news I'd add the Spiked podcast and the Brendan O'Neill show for some UK perspective, Aron Flam's 'Dekonstruktiv Kritik' (in Swedish) as a counter to the 'progressive' Swedish state broadcasters Sveriges TV and Sveriges Radio (they call themselves 'independent' but that is a flagrant lie) and the 'progressive' print/web media. Listen to and read both those 'progressive' outlets as well as some of the mentioned counterparts to gain a wider perspective on what actually happens in the world.
