Theroux is responsible for whom he chooses to platform and what parts of an interview to publish. He knew this would be controversial, generate lots of clicks, and might lose him sponsors that don’t want to associated with radical rhetoric.
You do know that’s the job of journalists right? Journalists have in the past spoken to many people it doesn’t mean they endorse those people it just means that the journalists want to get their side of the story. This includes pirates, murderers, and even dictators.
You’re complaining that a journalist is writing articles that people want to read.

The guy has literally interviewed the KKK, but this is radical rhetoric too far?
Did the KKK guy defend chants to „Gas the Jews“ or similar in his interview?
Did Bobby Villain chant “death to the Jews”? Stop making false equivilence.
Did Vylan call for the deaths of jewish people or did he call death to the IDF which is entirely different?
No but…he’s a KKK guy so…did he need to?
He has interviewed neo-nazis in the past so it is odd that a rapper is the one who sets these “advertisers” off.
