McNeil got cancelled by the extreme left. To read his own story about how he was abused is compelling.

Yet for some reason he seems incapable of taking as hard a look at the left and the principles underpinning it as he does in his deep dives into health and science issues.

You’d think a life changing event would result in a top down reassessment of the political world he associated with, but that’s clearly not the case.

He still has the same harsh leftist views - somehow he’s able to separate them without understanding how the views are interconnected.

The cheap shot about Clarence Thomas was completely unnecessary to his story, yet he just can’t help himself. It undermines his credibility in general and the credibility of his reporting.
