Imagine if there was a TV news/politics show that discussed the day's topics, current events, politics, international news, and all that, but that was similar to Memri (or Jerry Springer, for a more distant but relatable comparison) in that its guests are a few rational voices while most are completely crazy and they cover serious and zany stories from multiple (mostly unhinged) perspectives. It'd be like the insane headlines made by the likes of Pat Robertson, Sarah Palin, Alex Jones, anti-Vaxxers, anarcho-primitivists, and so on, except that'd be the regular, daily show.

There'd be the occasional chair throwing, shouting matches, swearing, and family affairs, like if a family came on the show where the woman alleges her White Nationalist brother has been secretly sleeping with her African American boyfriend before bringing out her brother, covered in neo-Nazi tattoos, and her boyfriend who shows everyone a picture of them together. They'd proceed to "discuss" what had happened and the brother's personal beliefs and so on.

Would you want such a show to be on TV? Would you watch it?

This shouldn't be on TV under any circumstances but if it were I'd watch the hell out of it, tbh.

Probably No for both. I get a headache just seeing the deluded clowns filling the QT panel/audience here - to purposely give a platform to loons and see them winning the audience around isn't so much entertaining as profoundly depressing to watch.

My dream is a TV show hosted by Roger Stone, Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul.
