No, they are not debates but diatribes. They are usually one sided and have shitty ‘experts’ because the best experts refuse to go on them or are scared of being taken out of context The best solution is long form debates where the whole thing is available, so each party cannot be taken out of context. If you don’t have these kind of debates people looking for heterodox views will find them anyway and an ‘entertainment’ industry spouting bullshit is created. You don’t need to put all heterodox views in textbooks, but they shouldn’t be generally shunned because it is counterproductive.
