Adin Ross, the 24-year-old bad-boy Kick streamer who interviewed President Trump last fall, apparently can’t read so good, at least according to this video of him trying his best to recite the definition of “fascism.”

As such, he’s become the face of illiteracy. It’s a tough watch and worth the 51 seconds it takes for him to realize what he’s talking about — that is, if you can stomach the secondhand embarrassment.

With all the talk of “new media” outpacing establishment news sources, do we really want to get our news from people who can’t read, let alone pronounce the word “fascism” correctly?

Wait, don’t answer that.
