That's true. Back in the 80s when the media picked on Regan, Clinton, and then George H.W. Bush, it was actually funny most of the time, because they weren't personal attacks. Personal attacks are never funny.
I don't think it will ever be profitable to have a nightly TV show that goes against the grain of the majority of America's voters. Who wants to advertise their product on a platform that does that?
