He raises some relevant issues and isn't completely ignorant - fair enough. That said, millions of other people are thinking and talking about similar things. I'm sure there are many other people with greater understanding that would appreciate a fraction of the airtime that he gets.
The fact that he gets so much of it isn't, as he seems to think, because he's the only person capable of expressing these truths. It's because he's loud and famous and has a back-story and dresses and speaks like a strange Dickensian sex pest.
If there's a choice, Media will go with the strange Dickensian sex pest every time.
- also, see Farage. Lazy media construct, now out of control.Fax_Benson
- How are Farage and Brand similar? Farage is actually far more sinister and close to real powerbabaganush
- The middleaged media assumes that young people will listen to Brand because they are brain dead and he is a starbabaganush
- The fact is major parties never listened to the people and they are voting for Farage...oblivious to the fact that it happened in Nazi Germany only 70- years agobabaganush

- He's not naive enough to think he's not getting attention because he's famous, that's part of it. He's at least doing something he cares about.formed
- he's far more sinister and close to real power largely because the media made him the go-to voice for a particular debateFax_Benson
- "brain-dead and he's a star" - Ukip voters and FarageFax_Benson
- They made him a character of ridicule as opposed to a go-to voice of wisdom...they didn't think he woul d get anywhere near where he isbabaganush
- near where is is...and he is going further...babaganush
- But to be fair from a media standpoint I see your point. Although i think the motives and tactics don't bear comparisonbabaganush
- why would the media give airtime to someone who wasn't as flamboyant as he is?doesnotexist
