Why exactly does the approval rating of the media matter? Does Roger Ailes now draft legislation that affects my everyday life? Don't answer that, those of you who live outside a bubble. It's their job to hold people accountable (what "gotcha" was before 1980 when massive head trauma spread across the land like wildfire), not to be liked. Voters like Robfather here don't want to hear facts, because they're unpleasant, and I don't mean in the "my head hurts!" kind of way. I mean that the truth bugs people and brings them down. People want good news and/or bad news that's badass. A quickly understood and packaged A or B. The average American doesn't have time to look into things or read into nuances. Shame it produced the current discourse.
