At the end of the day it's about TV ratings.
It's the same thing with sports talk radio, I watch a lot and listen to a lot of sports media, majority of times I say to myself, this guy is an idiot, he doesn't know what he's talking about..... But he's on tv/radio.
I'm not big on politics, although I wish I could watch snl or late night tv without the anti trump comments. Not that I'm his supporter, I'd just like to watch a program without it
But same thing, these guys jobs are not to be right, their job is get ratings, the show will put a guy who gets ratings on in front of somebody sharper or wiser.
Both sides do this. Many conservatives didn't like Bill Oreilly, many liberals don't like the late night gang.
But if the ratings dropped, so would the talk about trump. He's making all these shows rich, and giving them sustainable careers
I wonder what they hell snl or late night will do when trump is out of office, they will be sad, cause all their material will be gone.
The message is, politics is entertainment, same as sports radio or tv, it's not there to be accurate, as it's all opinion anyway.
