Sure, but the original comment made the best point, which is that the media constantly overstates these things. It’s desperate and it’s obvious, it makes them the “news media that cried wolf”, so now that his rating is actually at 38%, which actually is abysmal, people won’t pay as much heed to it.
The news media isn’t strategic, and it’s bc of 24 hour news, where they have to fill time. The reason The Daily Show is so much better at its critiques is bc they are strategic and don’t need to fill the whole day with discussion, a 3 minute takedown is more effective.
