    I guess if they had a communist from Ukraine they would at least be more knowledgeable

    Even that is not a guarantee. Because they did have a Russian “communist” on their program at one point and they learned absolutely nothing. Because the “communist” they chose to invite was some kind of ancom or Trot with a vendetta against the KPRF who basically did nothing but repeat western talking points about the Russian government.

    It was as if they purposely picked a Russian “communist” who would just come on to validate every prejudice that western leftists have about Russia. I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to find a Ukrainian “communist” to do the same.

      Yeah, true. I meant if it was a well-educated ML with nuanced takes, not some anti-Russia, anti-China ultra or something. But something tells me they will chicken out if they get the chance.

      My guess is they pre-approve not only guests but the talking points in the videos they make. And they did put the Syomin guy into the spotlight twice. You know how it goes - “fool me once…”
