Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

I think there's always going to be that group of people. Another example: folks that didn't notice that The Colbert Report was satire.

I thought Glenn Beck was satire. Watched it several times and then one day .. wait, that's not a joke?

Beck sounds batshit. Right there with you.
