If he were yammering on the Jimmy Kimmel show, SURE--he could even give me his UNINFORMED opinion. But his job is to host the game show, spin the wheel for the final puzzle, and tell the contestant to stand on the spot for the last big puzzle.

I don't really want to hear Alex Trebec's views on reproductive rights or equality, either. It's just not in their charge. They're supposed to host the game show.

I think when you're in the entertainment or customer service spheres, you have to keep your views to yourself. I changed auto mechanics because I got sick of the rightwing bullshit the guy kept spouting--he just wouldn't shut up, even when he knew that I wasn't enthralled with his POV. I found a better mechanic; he might be a progressive, he might not--but he keeps that to himself.
