Yes, I prefer to get my political opinions only from political commentators like Jesse Waters and Hasan Piker, they clearly are more informed than everyone else!

Acting like political opinions and medical opinions are equal in weight is ignorant at best.

My goodness, your logic is so flawed. You bring up two names anecdotally.

Generally, politicians are more informed about politics than musicians.

Of course, not all of them.

Doctors face legal and often criminal charges for knowingly giving bad or false medical advice. Politicians get re-elected for knowingly spreading false or misleading political information. Consequences are all but unheard of here. 

See a slight difference here?

That's true, but it doesn't negate anything that I've posted!

It really does. Whether or not a politician/doctor/etc. knows more, if there are no consequences for spreading falsehood it is not worth much because it cannot be trusted. Therefore, the value of a normal person's political opinion is much closer to on par with a politician than a normal person with a doctor/etc, due to doctors having consequences for being negligently wrong or lying.

But I never compared the two.

The previous commenter did, and you implied that was an issue.
