GE, you of all people are smart enough to know cable news is a commercial enterprise and they are giving the people exactly what they want. I'd go so far as to say the commentators don't even believe half of what they're saying. They're just pandering to their respective audiences and telling them what they want to hear.
If there's any blame to assign, unfortunately it goes to the millions of viewers.
