Deep Dive
Why did The Daily Wire's rebrand of 'The Comment Section' with Reagan Conrad fail?
The rebrand failed because The Daily Wire attempted to replicate Brett Cooper's persona with Reagan Conrad, which felt inauthentic and forced. The audience, particularly Gen Z, values authenticity and rejected the attempt to replace Brett Cooper with a 'clone.' The show lost 200,000 subscribers in 10 days, with videos garnering significantly fewer views than Brett's.
What happened when Nick Fuentes was doxxed?
After Nick Fuentes' address was posted online, an armed assailant attempted to kill him at his home. The would-be assassin had already committed a triple homicide and killed two dogs before arriving at Fuentes' doorstep. Fuentes was able to defend himself, and the assailant was later killed by police.
Why was the case against the Tate brothers dismissed in Romania?
The case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence. The woman at the center of the allegations had a history of making false claims, and the prosecution's case was riddled with irregularities. The court found no basis to proceed with the charges of human sex trafficking against Andrew and Tristan Tate.
What is Candace Owens' stance on Bibi Netanyahu and the treatment of Palestinians?
Candace Owens believes Bibi Netanyahu is a war criminal and that the treatment of Palestinians constitutes an intentional genocide. She argues that Netanyahu's actions, including allowing the October 7th attacks to occur, are evidence of his malevolent intentions toward the Palestinians.
How did 'The Comment Section' lose 200,000 subscribers in 10 days?
The show lost subscribers because viewers rejected the replacement of Brett Cooper with Reagan Conrad, who was seen as an inauthentic substitute. The videos posted by Reagan underperformed, with some failing to reach 100,000 views, compared to Brett's typically high engagement.
What does Candace Owens attribute the failure of 'The Comment Section' rebrand to?
Owens attributes the failure to The Daily Wire's decision to force Reagan Conrad into a role that mimicked Brett Cooper's persona. She believes the company, run by former theater professionals, misjudged the importance of authenticity in podcasting versus theater, leading to the show's decline.
What was the reaction of Brett Cooper's mother to the situation with Reagan Conrad?
Brett Cooper's mother, Diane Cooper, liked an Instagram post criticizing Reagan Conrad, stating that no amount of acting classes could make her as good as Brett and questioning the value of the money offered by The Daily Wire compared to the loss of friendship.
Why does Candace Owens believe journalists share responsibility for the attempted assassination of Nick Fuentes?
Owens believes journalists share responsibility because they often exaggerate or falsely label individuals as dangerous or extremist, such as calling Nick Fuentes a far-right extremist. This rhetoric can incite mentally unstable individuals to act violently, as seen in the attempted assassination.
