It's possible that both of those things are true, of course. The people interviewed for the poll certainly have dreadful taste in television, so the question turns on your taste.
Ha! Indeed it does. I thought even as I typed it that someone wasn't going to let me get away with faulty bit of logic. Should have known it'd be you.
In all fairness, though, I am not familiar with at least half the shows that the Republicans and Democrats are picking. I'm just assuming that they're shit. If you've ever done any channel-surfing here you'll agree that it's probably a safe assumption. I get something like 79 channels, and at any time I'm lucky if one of them has something on worth watching.
