Couldn't agree more.
Marty Bent, as a guest, pointed out this trap to his host getting all exited about "political support for bitcoin" on a podcast not so long ago and I found that refreshing.
When even bitcoin podcasters start falling into this trap, I can't help wondering how much different they themselves are to politicians: saying what they think their audience wants to hear.
But what do I know about podcasting? Still appreciate their effort. (Mostly.)
