bozo oligarchs - divide and conquer, distract by sensationalizing everything... if you play w/ emotions you can effectively reduce people's ability to think critically and reasonably. Like get sucked into drama... watching these pundits is kind of like watching Keeping Up w/ the Kardashians - you're essentially dumbing down people so that the real salient, systemic issues are not being addressed.
