to shape their viewers' preferences (e.g., you WILL react to the word "sideboob" because we will make it impossible for you not to), when suddenly some amongst the MSM--the humorless Fox News, most predictably--scream bloody murder when Obama trumps them.

Abraham Lincoln would have killed on "Between Two Ferns," too, and thus would probably have brought the Civil War to a much earlier end. Not that it's over even now for everyone, obviously.
