In no way does Kennedy present a balanced view on most topics. He is a fringe oddity that cannot be taken seriously, his anti Vax position is plainly at odds with science.
That's your opinion and you are welcome to it. There may be others out there that don't share your unyielding belief in mainstream liberal leaning news bubble which also includes Facebook, Google and the old Twitter to name but a few. Round and round she goes and the recirculation cements in ideals and values on the left much the same way a Fox news only viewer swims only in the right side murky pond of news.
I say this only because it seems that you didn't actually listen to RFK Jr for any significant amount of time. If you did you would see that he is
seriously not an anti-vaxxer but rather one that wants proper testing of vaccines to ensure the side effects are not worse than the thing they are treating and to justify the what 72 vaccines now mandated for kids in the US. Here is the time it is discussed:

Myself, I prefer to hear the long form podcasts when it comes to science, technology and now some politics since it is hard for those folks to carry on with BS particularly when some of the channels are performing some form of checking during the interview. Long form conversations seem to bring out topics that I may have had a cursory and uninformed opinion on before but a compelling argument makes me think twice. My thoughts are that MSM have done a fantastic job of making oped news columns sound like actual news especially of late. I most certainly don't want the opinions of the news agency summarized and given to me as a paragraph or two of what was once called news. No thanks. 'Just the facts ma'am, just the facts'.
I will be the first to say that I trusted the CDC, WHO, Pfizer yadda, yadda and thought to some degree nothing of the potential for a money grab thinking it was just conspiracy theorists at work. Now, I am not so sure and I am keeping an open mind. There have been multiple cases of mainstream news changing the hard line raging/blacklisting and generally against anyone who questions the narrative. Now they are actually printing, retracting and editing the facts to somewhat reflect a peek at the real deal. Crazy times. I mean who would have thought that Big Pharma would now be contributing more money to the the Dems than the Righties? That happened as a way to get ObamaCare pushed through, did it not? Again, I am not much of a political fella but these things are starting to matter to me (perhaps because of my age or possibly because I can't tolerate people that don't tolerate others opinions much. 555

Oh before I forget, here are the citation links for the Fauci book for your perusal:

Now since I am an optimist and believe most people really do want to hear both sides of a topic, I will take this opportunity to offer you (Whistler) a loan of my copy of the Audible book (well not mine but I do subscribe to Audible so its a loan of a lease of sorts $25.99 value or 1 Audible credit is the value to me):
The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.
