lol indeed JD. Since it's on Fox News, these people actually seek him out to partake in some sort of active hatred (what are the odds you're watching Fox's 'Fair and Balanced', but object to his brand of commentary?).
This seems more like the old melodramatic plays where the crowd throws popcorn at the villains: just an alternate form of entertainment. One wonders about the positive impact on his ratings though : "Good news, Bill. Turns out you are simultaneously the most popular and unpopular cable news commentator - which doesn't matter as long as they're watching." Ironically, the Factor, given a consistent easily identifiable bias and ridiculous standards in interviewing, is essentially following the same business model, but instead is cashing in on other people's dislike/hatred for Democrats/liberals. If it were just about current events and ideas it wouldn't be so biased and vitriolic (and loud). It wouldn't be so high in the ratings either. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

JDH, I probably will become a Crusty Old Coot someday, but less in the 'I salute the flag each morning and you can pry my gun from my cold dead hands' sense, and more in the 'civilisation is inherently f**king insane and I'm going to go and live by myself in the woods' kind of way.
