I wanted to see how many comments I would have to read before I found a single positive one. Got bored and gave up at 150. That's right, 100% of the 150 top comments are negative. One hundred percent.

TV world is a virtual reality that strains credulity. The internet was giving us a very different picture of ourselves before Ahriman's snakes crawled through to herd us into safe zones.

I just checked all the videos on the White House channel. Adding up all the likes and dislikes for all the videos, there are currently a total of 65,111 likes and 310,900 dislikes -- a ration of nearly 5-to-1.
