[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kirk is a grifter. Your kid risks losing his motivation by listening to him. Try and have your kid also listen to some other voices that are smarter - Pete Buttigieg, Trevor Noah, Fareed Zakaria, John Stewart, Hasan Minaj, etc.

My goal is to expose my son to a variety of smart, thoughtful, funny male role models and we debate and discuss viewpoints as a fam.

Charlie Kirk is not that smart and a grifter. He makes a lot of lazy arguments that are easy to discount.[/quote]

I agree with PP's premise of exposing your son to more sources. But the flaw in PP's comments is that all the alternative sources offered are one-sided polar opposite of Kirk.
Use https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/
Have your son use it and read what it says about the various sources. Help him read different sources keeping those biases, reporting accuracies, and credibility in mind.
Also, https://www.readtangle.com/  which presents multiple sources from both sides of an issue and
https://san.com/  which strives to be a neutral reporting source, covers more stories than the same old 3 the main media beat to death, and is enlightening about what news is and is not reported by each side -- which emphasizes the fact that we're not all getting the same news and therefore are forming opinions based on different portrayals of world events.
