Don't play games with disinformation.
Treating disinformation as worthy of equal-validity debate, itself "sends a message", validating the disinformation.
What would you think of a show with basically the same premise superficially but it also just constantly and blatantly ridicules the flat earthers?
you can only do that so much, it would get stale very quickly.
