Both sides of TV, radio, and print tend to pander to the extreme of both sides, because the extremes of both sides are the ones who pay attention on a regular basis. They watch political shows, listen to talk radio, and buy newspapers or click links online.
It makes sense to do this from a fiscal standpoint, but doesn't change my opinion about their honesty or integrity.
Have you seen Anchorman 2? It's not far from the truth. The 24 hour news cycle constantly needs to be fed. They need commercials to pay the bills. They need viewers to watch the commercials. How do they get the viewers? With guys like Bill O'Reilly who doesn't know the difference between a loofah and a falafel. I can't watch that crap.
