They'll makes stances for things they don't agree with and get paid quite handsomely for taking the flack for having ridiculous takes.
A big part of the problem is that they have 24 hours to fill and not near enough sporting events to fill that time. Most of these worat shows are weekday daytime when there are no sporting events to televise.
Same thing happened when the news went from an hour a night on the networks to 24 hours a day. They have to create drama to fill all that dead time when nothing newsworthy is happening.
