People acting like Fox News is the best because they have the best ratings are like people saying Justin Bieber is clearly awesome because he sold 150 million albums and my favorite album of all time peaked at #163 in 1972.  Believe what you want to believe, just admit you do it because you like it.  Or you can convince yourself you've got the corner on truth, but don't get too upset when everyone doesn't agree.

Ratings, sales, all of that is just for marketing.

People like what they makes them feel good.

Good answer.
