Why Does Anyone Listen To These Idiots?

SEE HERE  Well I have a confession to make ... I don't!  What is the point of listening to people who are so misinformed and ignorant and who seem to see themselves as some sort of anointed commentators to tell us how to think?  I've watched this get worse and worse since the late 1960s.  Instead of news we get regurgitated pap that isn't accurate and has an agenda.  The degree of ignorance about James Madison is simply stunning in someone who spews commentary on network news.  Do they do any research at all?  Madison was a genius and these people are something like maggots under a rock by comparison.
