Sorry to break the circle jerk, but Fox news knows exactly what they're doing.
They're not incompetent, they're the highest rated cable news network.
They're not nearly as dumb as you would think. They have an agenda and stick to it. In their private lives, these pundits are prolly way more moderate and surprisingly intelligent.
Politics on tv is more like wrestling than we acknowledge. Left vs Right, Red vs Blue, eh doesn't really matter. these tv personalities are playing a role in a bigger game. That includes Jon Stewart, who left tv because he got sick of it all.
Pick an issue, pick a side and paint the opposition as idiots. Week in, week out, same shyt.
