I don't like Adam's show. Have you seen the episodes about the border wall and sexism in gaming? He's so smug and he ignores facts that don't fit his agenda.
I haven't seen any full episodes--just clips. I don't agree with him on everything and now that you mention it, at least some of what I saw of those two episodes stand out as not having a good understanding of arguments from the other side. On the other hand, since the goal of the show is to be informatively subversive, he often does end up raising interesting points. I remember agreeing more with e.g., the segments on car dealerships, copyright and the TSA.
He is pretty smug but at least seems to be somewhat self-aware and self-deprecating of it. The (attempts at?) humor also keep the show from being overly dry, which is nice.

For what its worth, its one of his better ones.

The wall one got me to stop watching those as well.
To be fair, I enjoyed the one about eyeglasses being a monopoly racket. That, I hadn't even thought to look at before. That was a fun watch.
