(Anonymous) 2018-04-29 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)There is literally nothing fun about them anymore. They exist and operate almost exclusively as the mouthpiece for a bloodthirsty mob. They actually suck joy from my life force. Just like your comment.

But also...
if you don't like talk shows, don't watch them. Ultimately they're a consumer product like any other. And if talk shows shouldn't be political in the first place, OK, then why have politicians on as guests? If you're going to have politicians on as guests, the shows aren't going to be apolitical.
I really don't know what you're asking for.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-29 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)From what I can tell, the majority of current consumers want exactly what you want from your talk shows, which I guess is why they changed to meet that need.
I hope someday people will prefer fun again. These things are cyclical, so maybe they will.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-29 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)Also, like... I'd prefer to have fun too but the reason that people care about politics usually has less to do with being joyless scolds and more to do with the fact that politics has a material impact on the actual quality of life of ordinary people, yadda yadda yadda

(Anonymous) 2018-04-29 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)I'm with you...I'd rather watch a lighthearted interview with interesting personal anecdotes. There's enough politics everywhere else.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-29 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)Some of us actually consider politics to be fun. I'd much rather watch politicians on talk shows than some brainless celebrity advertising some movie I have zero interest in seeing.
