Actually, I know a few people who are far right and even they
occasionally tune in MSNBC and CNN for a good laugh. Perhaps people
like that are the majority of their audience. Politics should be fun.
Like me (small "L" libertarian), my moderate democrat family members
and friends don't bother with TV mass media much any more. I do enjoy
Greg Gutfeld, though. I record his show and "The Five" on Fox News,
because like I said, politics should be fun.

As for facts, one person's facts can be another person's "one-liner."
