Yeah, im going to have to disagree with you on that. Politics is fine as long as it relates to the subject matter. For example, the anticompetitive direction Microsoft is taking with Windows 11 would be important to the context of technology. But if its talk about presidential elections on a tech show then thats a waste of my time as a technology enthusiast.

I watched a few episodes of TechTV back in the day because I liked hearing about new gadgets. The Twit thing seems like its geared toward tech support for the masses. Not something I am interested in.

IMHO, a show's interest is the gage of its success and if you are not focusing on what interesting in technology, then why are you doing it? That says more about the person doing the show then its says about them people listening to you. That's kind of like saying it the listeners fault that they don't find the show interesting. Yeah, and I'm thinking "OK, Let me know how that works out for you"

True; it's not as if elections are tabulated on some sort of "voting machines" that are closed-source and often hacked at DEFCON's Voting Machine Hacking Village.
