Does that sound like something a serious critic would say? Let alone the head of a serious critic's website.Honestly, I don't see how you could watch that show (or Fox News in general, I suppose) over an extended period of time and not end up hating everyone and everything, everywhere, including yourself. But hey, YMMV, I guess.
A serious critic can watch shit they find abhorrent, for the sake of being a knowledgeable and powerful critic. It's the fucking job, right?
If only John Oliver was interested in Wikipedia criticism. He took down Carlson magnificently (and by extension, America, so lol), and it's clear he and his team can only do that by watching hours and hours of the stuff. Months of it, I think he said.
