For Leftists: What happens when a content creator has a questionable guest on? - eviltoast

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’ve never watched Real Time with Bill Maher. I was thinking more along the lines of if Democracy Now had Andrew Tate on to talk about the dangers of human trafficking. Questionable as in they are a covid denier or anti-trans views.

      It would be a problem if he was brought on to talk about COVID being a hoax. It’s not really a problem if he’s talking about something entirely different and not problematic

        On The Convo Couch, they brought on a guy that’s a covid misinformation pusher, but they brought him on to talk about the Palestinian genocide and the lies Israel is saying. Danny Haiphong has brought on an alt-right channel/magazine called The Duran to talk about Russia, and also Israel.
