What would you show on TV?
If you had a chance to run a program for an hour a week for several weeks on a national television (in an average European country, say) with a substantial audience, what would you show/say there? What sort of issues would you cover and why? What sort of format would you use?
I'd give over the hour to exposition/discussion by political thinkers of all persuasions. No requirement for "balance" in any given programme. Each programme would provide a platform for a given political viewpoint. The requirement being that all voices should be heard, all voices may be challenged and no one is afforded the right to not be offended. The only bar on the above would be a direct incitement to violence against individuals or groups based on sex/gender/race/ethnicity etc.
