Hey Brendan, my question is for you. Taking a cursory look at your twitter account, you appear to be an extraordinarily outspoken democrat. In fact, your twitter is chock full of links to activist sites like ThinkProgress that are often criticized for their hyperbolic and extremely one-sided stances. You have also retweeted some interesting things, like suggesting that the Reinhoel arrest was a Trump-appointed "death squad hit," suggesting that Trump encouraged / supported the Whitmer kidnapping plot, you refer to anything from Fox as a part of their "cinematic universe," and generally seem to regard anything that you disagree with as disinformation.

My questions for you are: As an overt partisan and political activist, are you confident that you can objectively assess what is and is not disinformation? Do you feel that your immediate rejection / suspicion of information from right-wing sources inhibits your ability to identify / accept that some of the left-wing sources you read may be peddling disinformation for a particular topic?

Thanks

Hey Andrew, your Twitter account could be reasonably described as "cheerleading" for the democrats. You routinely refer to stories from right-wing outlets as "propaganda," and, at least from a cursory overview, appear to hold views that are almost unanimously consistent with the modern orthodox views of the left-wing media establishment.

My questions for you:

Do you believe that you are capable of being completely objective when you are so explicitly partisan in your personal life?

Do you feel that surrounding yourself with left-wing voices, stories, analysis, etc. inhibits your ability to report accurately in cases when the truth isn't comfortable / expedient for you or the democrats?

Can you name some conservative members of the media who you trust as fair / objective journalists?

You seem particularly concerned with right wing extremism, but, as we all know, left wing extremism has the potential to be extraordinarily destructive as well. Some examples of this would be recent attacks on ICE facilities, antifa attacks, the black lives matter attacks on police, etc. Does your work attempt to address the issue of people being pushed to the radical left?

Additionally, you state that your definition of extremism is largely subjective. Can you provide examples of what you would consider as left wing extremism?

Dr. Peterson,

I am a big fan of thought leaders like you, Haidt, and Shapiro, but I place a lot of value on diversity of opinion. Who are some individuals on the other side of the postmodern debate that you feel convey their arguments most effectively?

Your bravery is inspiring. Thank you

Part of the nursing staff issue stems from hospitals firing (or not hiring) nurses and other staff who did not receive a covid vaccine. Two questions: Did your hospital do that? Given what we know now about post-vax transmission, do you think the hospitals should reverse their decisions?
