The man has an abrasive demeanor that was probably refined through his courtroom work that ported over well into media dialog, because the winning formula by the media's standards is >friction< and they know that viewers are entertained by >friction< because it's stimulating to witness, in much the same manner as watching bugfights.com.
Where the media cannot provide coverage of this friction, it will eventually seek to engineer it, because friction is a powerful distraction. End of the day, all the big media channel owners are to a man Republicans and have a vested interest in preserving, or even cementing the status quo, and it's very good at doing so.
That friction runs downhill like shit, pooling in random locations like this thread, where we continue to labor on their behalf by perpetuating friction between ourselves, and that's their ultimate weapon because they don't even have to aim, fire, or maintain it; we stupidly execute that part for them.
Doesn't seem like the smartest thing in the world for us to do, does it?
