In our view, 'Gutfeld!' puts humor, personality, and commentary ahead of identity checklists. Storytelling (such as it is) isn't subjugated to ideology, and panelists are present for chemistry and wit rather than diversity quotas. If anything, the show is almost defiant in not bending the knee to contemporary activist demands.

Traditional values, family, religion, free speech, and classic masculinity, are openly discussed and not treated with derision. The show occasionally pokes fun at modern social norms, but rarely, if ever, undermines core cultural principles in the service of an agenda. The humor can be irreverent, but it typically reinforces, rather than erodes, cultural foundations.

The biggest knock against 'Gutfeld!' is its clear lack of left-of-center perspectives. Opposition to woke culture is part of the brand, and any disagreement is played for laughs, if present. It’s not a place for pluralism; it's an echo chamber for non-woke opinions, so variety of worldview is weak.
