The thing about “Ellen” is that he audience clearly can’t have a median IQ greater than 80.And although I’ve never watched her show I’d bet everything I own that her only advertisers are personal injury lawyers and disability lawyers.
The Media can easily manipulate the masses, by keeping programming at a low level of intelligence. Many people can not even answer questions on a simple voter’s ballot.
I catch a few minutes of Ellen if I tune in too early to the local news. The audience seems to be made up of screamers who are hoping they’ve hit a day when she’s giving away freebies.
