Hello, Likewater. I strongly suspect some professionals on TV thoroughly but quietly study their audience demographic to discern the watchers' opinions on any given issue. The professional - with a view to TV ratings - then carefully crafts a sophisticated, "scientific" restatement of their audience's beliefs. This keeps them popular.

I do not watch the program you mention, but I have seen that host as a guest on talk shows. I remember once he implied personality disorders were character flaws.
