Part 4/8:
Given the show's reputation for taking strong ideological stances, the hiatus could also be a strategic move to manage backlash or declining ratings. Critics view the break as an opportunity to reflect on the show's impact on public discourse, particularly noting how its host panel often propagates what some describe as "toxic ideology."

One commentator, Brianna Lyman, openly denounced the show for pushing "the most toxic ideology" and described the panelists—specifically mentioning Alyssa Farah Griffin—as mere shills for Democratic interests.
