Rush Limbaugh. Jim Cramer. Garrison Keilor. Any network "news" anchor. Geraldo Rivera (who used to be Jerry Rivers). So many listeners and viewers mistake these folks for philosophers, social/political informed commentators, or experts. In fact they are all just entertainers. They are personalities paid to attract an audience which advertisers (mistakenly) believe are buying their goods or servces.
People love to be entertained, which is another way saying that people seek distraction from whatever else they should be focusing on. Dissatisfaction, disenchantment, disapproval, discomfort are all states of mind which require fixing, but which most people seeks answers for externally rather than introspectively. This never works.
We all have exactly the same capacity for success and self-improvement. One's resource for improving one's lot lies inside.
