Nicely stated.

Needs repeating:

The thing is. The people who are furious with him aren't his audience. He doesn't make his show for people forever hovering in the public sphere declaring who is and isn't on the Approved List of Acceptable People. He doesn't participate in the excommunications that are now a fundamental part of the religious nature of social media.

A spot on description.
