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’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.
