Commentary

When does a political commentator genuinely believe the words coming out of his own mouth, and when is he simply saying them to get people’s clicks? One clue that you are dealing with the latter is when the commentator says the American government or an American political party is worse than the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He might even say he would rather move to China than continue living in America. However, this is just clickbait, nothing more.
