Hi. This question is for leftists mostly. If you watch a content creator that’s on the left, but they have a questionable guest on, do you continue to watch that creator or do you find a different creator to watch? I sometimes watch The Convo Couch and Danny Haiphong, but they’ve had very questionable guests on and I can’t bring myself to support guests like that. Bonus question: Do you watch non-left channels?

    I think an important factor is how the host treats the misinformation. If they push back on it, you know they aren’t inviting those people due to agreement.

    Real time with Bill Maher has people of all sorts of perspectives on but he usually actively debates against positions he disagrees with.

    There’s lots of valid criticism of the guy but he at least tries to his ability to present a fair argument.

    If you don’t feel like misinformation is being called out on that site then it may be questionable. Don’t shy away from a content creator just for having questionable guests. Turn them off because you don’t like how they handle those guests.

      To my knowledge, on The Convo Couch, they treated the guest with respect and as an informed source on the topic.
