“If you’re an entertainer and you get involved in politics”
Sound like 90% of the media to me, full of leftist agitprop.
“you run off 50% of your market”
Unfortunately not. Maybe you run off 10%, but the 40% who should run off stay glued to the idiotbox, in my experience.
“. . . but the 40% who should run off stay glued to the idiotbox, in my experience.”
You are exactly correct in this. Conservatives are too darned lazy and self-centered to deny themselves the entertainment. The left has no compunction in this regard. They will finish you if they can as opposed to the right which keeps these leftie entertainers rich and famous.
