"I get a lot of criticism from the left, from people who are like Why does she have MAGA people on the show?' and it's like, well, you should know what they are saying, Phillip explained. Charlamagne agreed with the perspective, while Phillip continued by arguing that simply being unaware of Trumpism and those who support it is not helpful to anyone."
"I also think it does not do us any favors to pretend like a lot of people don't agree with Jillian Michaels and that it's an opportunity for us to correct the record, to educate, to inform, to put facts on the table, she said. Phillip added, can I be real? I know Black people who agree with Jillian Michaels. I've heard and not just recently."
NewsNight brings guests with differing political views into roundtable debates, often pairing Trump supporters with liberal commentators. Critics from the left question inviting MAGA guests, but engagement with those voices reveals what they are saying and how Trumpism operates in media ecosystems. Approximately half the country supported Trump, making awareness of those perspectives important for public understanding. Featuring controversial guests like Jillian Michaels creates opportunities to correct the record, educate audiences, and present facts. Heated exchanges between opposing guests demonstrate the value of exposing viewers to competing viewpoints to inform and challenge prevailing narratives.
