Controversial news blogger and avid shut-in Jim Finch appeared on the Welsh News Network (WNN) on March 18, 2023, marking his first live appearance on any YouTube stream since becoming involved in the First Amendment (1A) community.
A self-described avid shut in who was burnt out by a job he was laid off from in September that required him to attend up to 12 Microsoft teams meetings a day, Finch overcame his frustration with meetings for one reason: His friend Host Dan of WNN almost died on Thursday.
Dan appeared on the WNN broadcast Saturday from a hospital bed in London after suffering a small series of heart attacks last week. He is expected to be transferred back to Wales in the near future, where he will be recovering at local hospital until he’s released to go home.
Finch made it clear that he’s appearing on the show until such a time that Dan is well enough to participate full time in the WNN broadcasts. He has stated that he understands that some may make accusations of bias against him in his reporting for breaking the fourth wall, but also has stated that he’ll appear on non-WNN programs if invited to in the future if it does not interfere with his news reporting.
Host Dan and Finch have reportedly been friends since embarking on parallel paths last year, with Finch starting his daily news reports and Dan starting his near-daily WNN broadcasts around the same time as each other. Finch is a frequent presence in many side chats for various YouTube broadcasts, and in the WNN’s chats he plays a mock storyline of Dan and Host Becca being his true parents.
Finch’s appearance received a mixed reaction from audience members. With some taking issue with the extended comedic story line playing out from time to time to bring some levity to the broadcast, and others finding his off the cuff remarks a good fit for a program that already has a mix of outrageous personalities.
Those concerned with Finch’s mental health can make donations to his PayPal that is linked above. He’s still unemployed in a very difficult job market for his field and is suddenly writing news articles about himself. Donations will go towards keeping the news site alive, keeping him fed and away from a microphone once Host Dan recovers.
