CBS should launch a new sitcom called "Everybody Hates Bari."

Democrats and independents don't want blatantly pro-Republican bias. Republicans want vein-popping ragebait.

This was doomed from the start, and anyone outside the elite Republican bubble knew it.

@mattsheffield To me it always seemed that the plan of the elite Republican bubble is the systematic removal of decent quality news sources from U.S. households. The chilling effect from this saga feels like a sizable step in that direction.
