I agree about the obsession with 'poverty porn' scheduling on tv, it was basically to make working class people on benefits look lazy and bad. I Hate things like that. The government love propaganda like that.
Yeah the producers and those involved behind the scenes are also to blame, they did some scummy things . But Kyle was still the host and needs to take a huge chunk of responsibility. He drowned people out with his fog horn voice, and he took pleasure in treating them like dirt.
I wouldn't exactly say he's been made a "scapegoat" , I'm just watching the programme now and other people involved in the programme Backstage etc feel guilty and know they didn't help matters . Kyle enjoyed every minute of prodding away at these guests and shouting in their faces. He thinks they're beneath him, he enjoyed kicking them when they were down.
