    It’d be a lot more effective to just ignore Ben Shapiro. The guy made his wealth on getting attention for outrageous views. Ignoring him is more effective than calling him out and in turn directing more attention at him.

      Doesn’t even have the clout for that. Shapiro made his money by shilling for the Wilks brothers. The same oil tycoons who funded Prager U and the daily wire.

      No one in the right winged media circuit is famous for their own merit, they’re all just funded by billionaire oil and gas owners.
