The whole 'entertainment' angle is so ironic when considering what LMG is trying to become and how much money they are spending on that plan. They want to be seen as experts with objective, reliable data, but can't afford $500 of employee time to test things properly?!

This sure is a blow to that desired reputation.

To me, it feels dismayingly close to how Fox News argues the same thing. They emphasize entertainment over objective news.
