He's doing, what we see in "the normal world" too. Doesn't it feel familiar all the things he does: Discredit the "mainstream" media, launch his own personal attacks, sordid conspiracy theories and “it could have been true” stories. This combined with a pinch of real news. He copies the success formula of lunatics like Alex Jones and others who do politics and whose names we are therefore not allowed to mention.

Where real mainstream conspiracy thinkers bash about “Davos”, “Sandy Hook” “Pizza-gate”, “Dog & cat eating Haitians”, “Qanon”, “The great reset”, and so on. And where many believe it too. We laugh at someone who has the same success formula of lies, conspiracy theories and other trash on our sport on Youtube.

Youre giving him way too much credit….he’s not that smart…

Came across Cooksey via the YouTube algorithm a couple of years ago and watched due to the clickbait title. I occasionally watch just because of how bad his takes are, it's almost comical if it wasn't sad. His body language and mannerisms suggest he doesn't even believe the crap he spews half the time. Dude needs some serious help or to find a new hobby, his hatred of Coombs and RC is quite scary and seems like he genuinely does not know how a business is run or what overheads and budgets are. Best thing is for everyone to just ignore him and hope he moves on

He’s a little out there but every sport needs some sort of joker media guy, great entertainment. 

VitalMX posters (Vitards)  have trouble grasping that concept. 😑

How is "Davos" or "the great reset" a conspiracy theory?  I guess you don't plan on owning any dirt bikes in the future.  Maybe you'll become one of those speed walkers I saw in the Olympics.

If the moto industry wants him to go away they could start reporting on more interesting topics to make Cooksey irrelevant.

How did Cooksey get the scoop on Roczen racing a 250? Forkner to Triumph?   any others?

I used to like Ping, he was my favourite co-host on Pulp. Not sure when things changed but now he just seems like a nut.

He’s been in the industry long enough to have some solid sources which allows him to break legitimate news, for example I believe he was the first to mention Forkner to Triumph. To me this all just makes it worse though as he could be somewhat of a legitimate journalist but instead he’s chosen to be a click bait merchant who spreads mostly misinformation.

It never ceases to amaze me how much effort people will go when opining about people they dislike....which only brings more attention to them.       See the same behavior when people complain about members on this forum....   Basically its:  "I hate this guy....but I can't stop reading their content".

Hilarious.

I'm not for or against Cooksey...I just don't care.

Its easy to be first to announce breaking news if you don't vet it or try to confirm anything and just focus on being the first to announce the news on your channel, which is what Kook-sey does.  By doing that, yes you'll sometimes get things right and be the first to announce it, but then sometimes you'll be completely wrong and just basically be spreading a rumor or fake news.  Cock-sey doesn't care about that though and just moves on with his life.     The "mainstream moto news" that Kocksey rants against, probably hold back a little bit and try to vet and confirm news before they officially announce it.

The VitalMX posters think very highly of themselves. That could be the reason.

Same here. I had never heard of him until after all the negative responses here.

Now I like some/most of his takes and discussions in a discussion forum.....who knew?

If you like his ‘takes’ you have the critical thinking skills of a banana.

Haaaa, "Murdercross", these were the good days...

When he started here, you could tell he absolutely wanted to find a different angle on, like, everything... As time went by, he slowly started slipping in a parallel universe and went totally bonkers...

The thing I hate most about his channel is that when you read through the comments, there will be very few, if any at all, comments that are disagreeing with him, or calling him out on anything.  That's because the guy that promotes free speech and rants against being censored, is actually censoring people himself, by deleting comments, and shadow banning people that disagree with him.    That is my biggest issue with his channel, the hypocrisy in the way he complains about that kind of stuff, but then actually is doing the same things he claims to be a victim of.

Death threats can do that. As for his content if you can get past all the shit he is hawking there is little value in it these days not that I watch anymore.
