Query: Signs of the times

How else to explain the proliferation of atrocious writing like this? Look no further than the subject matter. The prominence of the subject matter (Ventura) and the Jim Gray-esque tone (author/reporter larger than the story)of the book convey the stark reality of just how bad our pop culture has degenerated. Simply put: when telegenic political Puffed Rice like Ventura can be elected governor, we shouldn't be surprised by the public's appetite for shallow works from such "literary talents" like Tapper.
