Show Notes
Benny Johnson has 6 million YouTube subscribers, 4.6 billion views, and uploads up to four videos a day. He also has 41 counts of plagiarism, a federal indictment naming a company he worked for as a Russian intelligence front, and a pattern of fabricating stories — including one he told at the White House.
In this Trap Check, Darren follows the money behind one of the most-watched political commentators on the internet and breaks down the business model that rewards outrage over accuracy. From BuzzFeed to Tenet Media to a multi-million dollar YouTube empire, the question isn’t whether Benny Johnson is credible. It’s why credibility doesn’t matter anymore — on either side.
Outrage is the jet fuel. The algorithm is the engine. And viewers like you are the runway.
