1. It's more than 25% nt

[Buckeyeblue]

2. Agreed

[The Non_Evil Damien]

9. I have to agree

Sadly. (smh)

[GulfCoast66]

20. I disagree. 25% is about right.

Unfortunately they vote at a higher percentage than most Americans so they make up 35-40% of the electorate.

[Mike Nelson]

3. Partly agree...

… a lot of them don't doubt it, but they think it's a good thing. Russia is a model: there are no Black Presidents, Gay people are beaten, and men decide when a woman has an abortion and have it done secretly.

[NastyRiffraff]

4. "Why do they receive 80% of the media attention these days?"

THAT is a damn good question.

[dalton99a]

6. Our quest for understanding is never ending

We must find out what it takes to appease the racist assholes in order for them to achieve complete satisfaction

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. because they are a means to an end

The ones who hate government are useful if you want more $2T tax breaks.

[marlakay]

19. Corporations, tax cuts, money

And Trump has been a huge ratings booster for media both before election trying to help him win, now acting like wow my bad and getting great ratings talking about how horrible he is.

[IcyPeas]

5. crazy makes for good tv....

plain old normalcy doesn't.

.....(normal)
..(crazy)

[Elwood P Dowd]

8. Republican policies from 1921-1932 caused the Great Depression

yet almost 40% of the population was so fucking stupid they voted for Hoover over FDR in 1932.

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. The question that needs to be asked often...

Why do they receive 89% of the media attention these days?

[Mr. Ected]

11. That 25% is divided into two groups:

The oblivious and the assholes. I'm trying to figure out what the balance between the two may be.

[McCamy Taylor]

12. This is the 25% that approved of Cheney in 2006.

The "go fuck yourself" demographic. They really love Trump.

[Generic Brad]

13. You could almost consider them deplorable

[democratisphere]

14. Controversy sells newspapers and TV ads.

[littlemissmartypants]

15. I read somewhere not too long ago

That 33% of the adults in the USA have a third grade reading level or below, so there's that...

[KY_EnviroGuy]

16. Being a Republican, I suspect Schmidt knows the answer to his own question.

Most of our MSM is overseen by right-leaning boards of directors, so it's a no-no to really blast a Republican leader and they expect the conservative view point to dominate the news.

Psychiatric studies have clearly told us that a certain percentage of any populace will have a degree of genetic psychopathic nature, and that many of those people become business leaders (many other become criminals). They are also almost invariably Republicans, the party that exploits human emotions and fears.

Those points are proven daily by their behavior........

It would be instructional to see a psychiatric profile of all the board members and primary officers of our MSM corporations.

17. He is right about all the media attention going to the crazies. nt
