Injects politics and sloppy narratives as potshots constantly
The show itself it fantastic, however, the host and writers can’t resist using the programme as a way to push certain political narratives. There are statements made in every episode that are social commentary that have no evidence based arguments, are intentionally skewed, or are delivered as a quip that hopefully goes undetected while still making a political statement. There is pressure everywhere to virtue signal, and clearly this show is not immune to the desire to come across as righteous. Unfortunately it’s at the cost of true accuracy and honesty in reporting “real unbiased data and research”, which is the entire premise of the show… right???
