I'm a little concerned that a channel that calls itself TruTV seems to play nothing but fake reality television, and that's what I'd classify "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura" as.
I think a lot of the show is staged, from the "war room" Ventura and his crew meet in, to the bunker he films his promos in, etc. It's all intended to create a certain secret "feel" for the show.
The most ridiculous part of every episode is the supposed "confrontations" that take place. There's no way in hell Ventura is really confronting the people responsible for the conspiracies they're covering on the show. One tip off is how the cameras always seem to be in the right place, even if it's in a room Ventura supposedly hasn't been in before so they can catch him entering in dramatic fashion. Has nobody noticed this before?
One thing in particular that bugs me is how Ventura claims to be a former Navy SEAL, and/or allows people to think he is, despite the fact that in reality he was part of an underwater diving team that would later merge with the Navy SEALS some eight years after Ventura had already left the military
how in the hell does that make him a Navy SEAL?
The show is good for a laugh, and maybe even the tiniest sliver of factual information, but other than that it's pretty much a joke as far as I'm concerned. If you're really seeking knowledge, this isn't the place to gain it. I wouldn't recommend the show to anyone looking for any sort of serious program.
score 5/10
