It's likely that anyone who is anyone is a shill in some capacity, either knowingly or unbeknownst to them. This is why you must "eat the meat and spit out the bones". Find truth where you can and disregard that which is misleading or controlled. I still appreciate what he does but would in no way "put my trust in him." Take sources from everyone but do not disengage your critical thinking. Like you said "DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH." This is a good practice, once we start to allow others to think for us we give up control to them and allow the brainwashing to start. "Info Wars" for example does have some very valid points and can report true news. But I don't trust them for one second, because they limit what level of truth they disseminate and mix in a bit of lies to achieve their assigned narrative. "Graduated Animal Farms" is the best name I have heard of to explain this phenomena. Unfortunately the title Shill has lost any real meaning due to the mass number of people that could fall under this category. That being said you certainly could be right. I have nothing good to say about the Serpents who Run that False church, but plenty of good things to say about certain individuals who call themselves Catholics.
