They are both anticapitalist, but not communist. Lee Camp’s show had a nice niche in the Bush and Obama era where there was still a lot of overlap between new age conspiracy stuff, the anti-war movement, and occupy wall street type stuff. When I was watching his show regularly, I was also following I Fucking Love Science and Spirituality & Metaphysics on Facebook if that helps paint a picture. They’re both better than the vast majority of mainstream American news on the vast majority of issues, but there’s still gonna be some manufacturing-consent-style hangups. Their reporting on Snowden, Assange, and Manning was all super refreshing at the time

Christ, this feels like someone describing The Daily Show circa 2002.
