My finger slipped on the car radio tuner this morning and I listened to a few minutes of an NPR 'comedy' show, perhaps a replay of Prairie Home Companion? The jokes were lame, but the audience hooted, squealed, and whistled when one punch line included the word "binders." It was by far the loudest and most spontaneous laughter.
Some information gets through to libs. Some is never aired on the "news" outlets they use.
