   I used to be okay with silly bad-faith arguments from #MSM hosts, especially on the right, because I assumed they were joking and speaking tongue-in-cheek.

   The election cycle has shown me, though, that 1) not all of them are joking and 2) even if they were, media literacy in the #USA is so poor that citizens would even know it was a joke if the people said "please clap" at the end.

   So I now have far less respect for lowest-common-denominator media that I did as a kid.

     BTW I use the term "lowest common denominator media" because it applies to more than just the #MSM, but the podcasts and hosts who try to be like them, like #DailyWire, #StevenCrowder, #TYT, #MajorityReport, etc.
