Have you ever taken any of the information gleaned from the shows and done a search for veracity of the information?
You need to reread what I said. I said nothing as to the truthiness of the content. I'm telling you how HC writes the shows.
Their "intent" may be to inform you, but the network REQUIRES them to introduce doubt and often ridicule of controversial topics. And, as it happens, it's always at the end of the show.
Why would they introduce doubt or dissenting views when they have a captive audience (lapping it all up) to sell crap to.
Remember, it's a FOR PROFIT business.
Quoting: Soul DevineSorry, I did misinterpret what you initially posted. I do find the ridicule part or doubt as part of presenting both sides of the issue; somewhat of a devil's advocate position. But then there are times that the ridicule is uncalled for and over the top, when that happens I think of Gandi's saying: "First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."
