O'Brien lives up his own arse most of the time
I used to tune in every day to his morning show on LBC but eventually got fed up with his sanctimonius tones. He had someone on a couple of weeks ago (forgotten who) who was lauding NATO and saying how we should all back Zelensky against evil Putin. I actually rang in and left a comment (which wasn't used) that they'd had an MOD spokesman on in mistake for an objective viewpoint. O'Brien basically agreed with everything this person said and issued no caveats or context that Russia would not allow -- and had said so -- a nuclear-armed member of NATO on its border -- as of course neither would the US if Canada or Mexico decided to host Russian nuclear missiles. I still do tune in but soon have had enough. The real test of course of whether O'Brien is a genuine independent with anti-establishment views (as he prides himself as being) is if it were actually the case he wouldn't be hosting a live discussion programme on LBC for very long. He still is.
