When a guest doesn’t show up to inform, to explain an issue, to defend an argument, to challenge a thesis, or to shed light on a truth—but simply to occupy a chair and fill airtime…
When a guest is not invited for their knowledge, experience, or integrity, but because they can talk endlessly without saying anything—or worse, because they’re a “hunting dog”…
When someone is brought in just because they’re “a fool,” because every absurdity they utter gets snatched up by portals and turned into memes…
When the guest is treated like an oracle on every topic—from energy economics to foreign affairs—just because they’re on open lists or have a certain number (K-s) of Instagram followers…
When the guest insists that black is white and treats the audience like fools, then what we’re watching isn’t a screen anymore—it’s a mirror. One that reflects the cynicism of a format that no longer seeks the truth, but the click.
There’s no debate.
No analysis.
No truth.
Only noise. Self-satisfaction. And an audience fleeing the news as if SPAK were chasing them.
In this improvised theatre where the only merit is being present, there are no winners.
Only victims.
And the greatest victim is the truth itself—
Beaten, mocked, and cast out.
The truth walks out of the studio
without a mic,
without an invite,
without a single like.
