The question is: How low can your respect for journalists and politicians go?

The American Congress has a less than 10% favorability rating yet most Americans will reelect the same people they disfavor. Who does that say more about? The politicians or the voters?

Similarly, our distaste for some journalists doesn't stop us from watching their reports or reading their stories.
