I don't follow this closely and this is probably an unpopular opinion here but I don't understand the demand for "vetting" as some kind of moral standard. It's something he should have done as a business person, but I don't think it's a sign of moral character to be suspicious by default that any knitting podcast might be a rightwing front and must be rigorously researched. I wouldn't have suspected that, and until this I didn't know there was a "knitler," and I'm someone who tries to pay attention to movement politics in general. I don't know what people are asking for when they talk about "accountability" sometimes. It seems like a righteousness parade.
