Saying you won’t watch an interview because you dislike the host, when the subject is about the interviewee, shows a strong tendency to police thought and ignore anything that contradicts your prior beliefs.

I do try to police my attention ... you know, in this economy, who has spare of that!

If I can I try to not watch content from propagandists, populists, self-professed leftists/socialists/Marxists/anti-capitalists/eat-the-rich-ists/etc. it just doesn't make much sense.

Because someone else insisted in the idea that it is propaganda?

Politics is a highly manipulated topic.

The last thing I recommend is to see something through a middle-man. No matter who we are talking about or "ideology".

no, because I watched some content from said authors, determined that it's bad, stopped watching it.

there's very little value in wasting attention on who said what, it's more than enough to see who does what.
