    You’re missing the point. The less serious guests like this jackass discredit those more serious guests. Without him, people are more likely to get confused and start taking the show more seriously, like you apparently have.

    Your personal obliviousness is not indicative of a trend among the general public. Pull your head out of your ass. We have to shift the overton window back to where bigotted idiots look like bigotted idiots, and you don’t do that by platforming them exclusively alongside respectable people, academics, scientists, whatever.

    Ideally, we wouldn’t be platforming bigotted idiots at all, and people like you wouldn’t confuse the show making fun of conspiracy theory whackjobs for a serious news source, but here we are.
