They are great at distributing selective edits of all their episodes to right, middle and left, each of which are presented with radically different takes on how the episode unfolded and who "won."
It's more mindless, deeply unserious griftonomics being fueled far more by the right and reactionaries than making any attempt to provide viewers with a coherent narrative or values.
I would be happy to never see another Jubilee clip. I think a few people did fantastic on there, even unedited, like Mehdi or Sam Seder, but I much rather see either of them in an actual debate or even just delivering essay materials or commentary where they can get credit for how they actually changed minds or challenged narratives. (Not that I think debate even exists as a concept anymore, but anything is better than this bad-faith circus.)
