i listened to his show daily for 3-4 years, if u want examples im not going to dig them up. its more of a feeling u get, a general pattern of allowing a bit more for his side than he does for the opposition. he's a clear partisan, but so consistent it comes off as unapologetic. its only noteworthy because of his fanboys' use of "facts dont care about your feelings", as if Shapiro's entire message is fact based, unbiased, and unfeeling. that's the character he plays, but not who he is.
tbh i didn't need to question you looking back. i'll admit Thor's constant ignorance frustrates me at times, and i responded to you with that mindset. though i have 1 beef with this reply, which i bolded.
i can understand fanboy extremes, but that's not Shapiro or his show. Ben does not claim him or his show to be unbiased and advertise as such. (unlike some MSM)

anyway, someone has to give him a pro-stance, and "often" i agree with his opinions and do believe them to be well-informed. might as well be me. (you can stop reading now if you wish)
anyone to think "any" "political" show is unbiased... is ignorant, stupid, or too lazy to source interests.
he is partisan in many ways, especially when it comes to Israel policy. less-so for republicans in general, as he's quick to bash republicans over actual malice. also constantly bitches about Trump, while still praising his policies.
there is rarely "investigative" journalism in his show and he cites his opinion on the hot topic news stories churned out the echo-chamber each day. he does "use" facts, but you don't go to a political show "for" facts.
now when you say "allowing a bit more for his side", i understand. if it's not a major scandal or egregious act, he can throw some soft-balls on the right side. (or forget to throw the ball at all)
i don't see how any of this is even close to the misrepresentations in MSM though, which is why i find it odd for him to be singled out. (not specifically by you as you were just replying with slightly hyperbolic satire)
anyway, the Ben Shapiro show is worth a watch here and there imo. especially if your life is missing dumb dad jokes.
