34. The RW media culture reminds me more and more of pro wrestling.
They train people to go for the jugular, to come out yelling and just yell louder when challenged. It's just a big macho chest-beating contest that reminds me of male gorillas facing each other down.

This obviously appeals to many viewers on a visceral level. But it prevents any honest discussion of the facts, and anyone who tries to bring logic into the picture will just get shouted down.
