Isn't trolling just malicious stupidity?

That would be a really bad way to retain viewers.

It would be, but you're assuming that a large percentage of the population are informed. It's like making a really aggressively offensive joke that goes over the heads of most of the victims. though:

Uh, they watch house and that's on fox -> people watch fox? QFE is quoted for emphasis. Unless this is some kind of "whose responsible this?!", at which point I don't see the joke.
