Playing Trump’s ugliness for humor is a win for comedians.

That’s why TV networks go for that.

But there isn’t much to network “news” anymore, as it seems the “news” has been relegated to specialty cable-TV channels (Fox News, MSNBC, etc.) which are mostly for confirmation bias, with an extra twist of vile on the part of Fox.

When I was growing up, watching “the news” on one of the big 3 networks was the thing one did at night.

Now, most Americans can grow up without even watching the nightly news. It’s not much of a thing anymore, compared to what it used to be. That’s why news audiences are so old.
