Yep, Hoft is going to be shocked when Clinton pulls out a win despite the writing being on the wall for some time. He really is the SMOTI. Proves it day in and day out.

It’s a cynical calculation, I think. Hoft knows damn well exactly what his audience wants to hear and he delivers this. There’s money to be made in this, after all. It’s really no different than any other media enterprise - you have a target audience or demographic, and you can create and market material that appeals to that target group. Whether it’s total bullshit or not is entirely irrelevant.

It’s a business. And it works, horribly enough. To make it work, you simply have to lose any shred of human dignity, conscience or ethics.
