It is amazingly funny to watch them!
Yeah, except that Americans in general are brain locked to the idiot box. If they see it often enough they begin to question if maybe it might be right. If they ever even slightly concede that the talking heads might be right and voice that suspicion. . . then we've had it because they will have bought the big lie.
Unfortunately, you are right. I have sworn off the "idiot box", except for sports and Law & Order Criminal Intent.
