JS made a major contribution to the coarsening of American public culture, just to keep the money flowing into his checking account. He also tricked people into making crass fools, knaves, thugs, and jackasses out of themselves in public. What a guy!Unfortunately, I have to agree with this statement. The only debate could be to what degree he contributed to said coarsening as opposed to what degree he merely exploited what already existed.
Exploited. If there wasn’t the appetite the show would not have aired.
I watched him for a few minutes a couple times. That was more than enough.
