40. You make a good point. The RW media could happily wallow in the septic tank with this.

On the other hand, last night on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show, this very topic entered the discussion, and Lawrence guessed that the predominant number of people who actually read the “National Enquirer” quite likely don’t have the faintest idea who Jeff Bezos is. That, too, seems believable.

But one should never underestimate the tenacity of the RW noise machine. They’re working overtime to cover Trump/Republican lies and lawbreaking. They’re not really hiding their moves any more, either by ineptitude, or by showing the “I really don’t care” mindset again and again.
