    What about in England or Australia where they have some harder questions.

    What would a system look like where they couldn’t get away

      We have a handful of interviewers who might ask somewhat hard questions or call out dodging a question in Australia.

      What I see is they have a sort of deal, they let the opposing side bring up their points and give them time to talk whatever bullshit 3 word slogan they’re trying to sell this week and in return they maybe sometimes give a real answer.

      Oh and these interviewers are only on public broadcasts, so they’re not profit seeking.

      In the UK? I dunno, probably point a random person and scream they’re trans.

        So goes back to my other question. What needs to change to make it so we have interviewers that can ask these questions. We all complain but nobody really looks at how to change things

          People need to care is what needs to change. The majority of people are apathetic and tuned out of anything. Until they care enough to cause issues for the interviewers companies, there is zero reason for them to change.

            Id argue a lot of people are engaged but in the wrong ways. Think about a world where there are rich people with money that spend their time online. They hire teams to influence people on the right and the left.

            What would a world where the right are convinced to create and push ideological views while the left are convinced to suppress theirs?

            What would that look like?

      They probably wouldn’t have to ask as many hard questions as we think, because presumably such a system would prevent or disincentivize most dishonest representatives from ever getting the the point of a TV interview.
