The Reason Why The MSM Keeps Putting on Anne Coulter
Advertisements [?]
Elizabeth Edwards mentioned this in her confrontation with Anne. The MSM wants the masses to turn off of politics. They don't want a truly sober dialogue about the issues. What they want are "shock jocks" making outlandish, insults. Having people like Coulter on achieves two goals: (1) they get people who love conflict over susbtance, the WWE crowd and (2) they turn off rational people who don't like yelling and insults. Either way, "pundits" like Coulter serve to keep the masses uninformed about the real issues of the day.

Thus, in order to save our democracy, the media conglomerates need to be broken up into tiny pieces. They no longer serve the public's interests nor do they inform the public about the key issues of the day.
