No. Look up Gavin McInnes and The Proud Boys. McInnes only very recently disassociated from them, presumably because of this merger coming up. Basically the dude was a white supremacist who transitioned to mainstream conservative media because there was more money in it.
In general, I find most right-wing internet channels/media to be garbage. They know they're preaching to the choir and do not even attempt to be accurate or introspective. In addition, many of them don't have a particularly good broadcast presence or entertainment talent.
There are some exceptions. Steven Crowder is reasonable in most of his views (at least the ones expressed on show), isn't extreme, and has legitimate wit and comedic talent. That's why he was elevated to headline status on CRTV so quickly, and is considered one of the top 3 on the new Blaze channel. They realize he's good, and not just a hack saying what the audience wants to hear.
Ben Shapiro doesn't have much of a broadcast presence, but he's very smart and is an excellent debater, thus making him very watchable. However, he's not part of this new Blaze, as he's associated with a different network (The Daily Wire).
For the most part, I don't watch or listen to conservative media other than Crowder. I do watch Fox News every so often, just to get away from the increasingly obvious liberal bias of the other news networks, but Fox News' bias also annoys me, even though it's a bias on my side of the fence.
Honestly the ideal show for me would be one with a conservative slant which also isn't afraid to delve into areas where the right sometimes isn't correct (or is at least partially incorrect). Crowder does this occasionally, but he stops short of saying anything too harsh, so as to not alienate his base.
I actually read as many left wing sites as I do right wing sites, so I can see both sides and decide the truth for myself. It is comical how misinformed some people are when they only expose themselves to echo chamber news -- and I'm talking about those both the left and right.
