MODERATORS
I mean Louis Theroux has interviewed literal nazis and Westboro baptists, and I feel that my understanding of the world and humans is better for having watched those interviews.
It really depends on what the creator is trying to acieve by having the guest.
I'm guessing they think the guest has a better analysis than the media and isn't endorsed by corporate backing.
Sounds like you feel they're just uncritically supporting the views of people you find questionable?
If that's the case, I can see why you might get tired of watching something like that, and I can also see why it would make you wary of the host's judgement.
Yes. I'm also worried they're getting fed dogwhistles or right-wing talking points from these people. Danny Haiphong used to be a journalist for Black Agenda Report which is very very left/socialist, and now he's having alt-right content creators on. Although, to be fair, he was a correspondent with Jimmy Dore, so he was already questionable.
