Zach Bryan's 'Free Palestine' shirt at Robert Kraft's stadium, on The Rational National

David Doel's take on the country star's Gillette Stadium concert is the most watched of his latest uploads, on a day his channel drew nearly twelve times its usual views.

Why this story? The whole channel is running at 289,926 views a day, 12 times a normal day (24,587).

An ordinary day on The Rational National brings in around 25,000 views. This one brought in close to 290,000.

The upload that stands out is David Doel's video on Zach Bryan. The title and description say the country singer and his band wore shirts reading "Free Palestine" during a concert at Gillette Stadium, the Foxborough, Massachusetts, home of the New England Patriots, owned by Robert Kraft. Doel's description places the moment beside a Rolling Stone report linking Kraft to Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's tour weeks earlier. He also brings in a Rolling Stone piece on Kris Kristofferson and the price the late songwriter paid for his activism, and a new Bryan song aimed at AI.

Posted on Friday, the Bryan video has already passed every other recent upload on the channel. Behind it are a look at Flock Safety, the surveillance-camera company whose chief executive's home was marked "Public Toilet" online, and a piece on a National Post column about NDP leader Avi Lewis.

The range fits the channel. Doel, a former broadcast journalist who once ran for office as a Green Party candidate and hosted a talk show on Toronto's NEWSTALK 1010, describes his work as commentary on politics, media and culture. A country concert in a football stadium is where those three met this time.
