Cody definitely gives the definitive fisking of Shapiro. And he’s right that there’s no way that Ben should have the viewership he does when he lies about so much so often, or is just flat out dumb about so much (or both).

Shapiro is a self promoting hack who coats everything with a veneer of fact, but then strays away the first moment he can (often within moments of opening his mouth to talk or tweet, or expressing a thought).

Shapiro is just a slightly above average intellect in the movement that made Rush Limbaugh popular. He’s nowhere as clever, insightful, or witty as he thinks but enough people have told him he’s the right’s new Bill Buckley- another mediocre mind that convinced himself of his intellect by having people jack him off.
