BROADCAST BIAS: Dolly Parton taught the world the way to be universally beloved

When the news broke that Dolly Parton had died at age 80, the networks exploded in tributes and primetime specials about her career in music and acting and her plethora of good works. Everyone remarked on how rare it was that someone could be universally beloved. How could that be done?
