re: Do liberals understand that Harry Potter isn't real?

Her opinion matters more than yours because her name matters more than yours. The name Rowling catches people's attention. The name drexyl does not. CNN makes money by catching people's attention


Further, CNN knows that letting Rowling chime in will trigger people like you and make you feel like you need to belittle CNN publically. And when you do, it intrigues people and makes them want to know what exactly it was that Rowling said that got your panties in so tight a bunch. So they go to CNN. They give them clicks. They make them money.

That's a large part of what cable news is now. Triggering people to get clicks. If you're tired of it, stop helping them.
