Credibility is in the Eye of the Beholder: They kind of have credibility, and they kind of DON’T also.

That describes probably just about EVERYBODY working in showbusiness. Every successful entertainer and media figure who’s successful in any way, generally doesn’t have credibility everywhere (no one is loved by all people), but rather, some people have credibility some places, yet no credibility in others.

For example:

Seth MacFArlane: Does he make more money than hell? Yes. Has he been on Inside the Actor’s Studio, and the Emmys? Yep. Do his shows have a viewership. Does he have a Wikipedia page? Yep. Could he ever write a successful NOVEL? Doubt it. Could he ever make an actual anime, or have ANY respect from me or an anime fan of most sorts? No way in HELL. Is he considered highly annoying? Kind of yes, kind of no.  But his shows are VERY Annnoying, but also VERY funny at times.

Cartoon Network: Does it have tons of viewers? Yes. Does it have a religious cult following among its fans online? Yes Does it have anime credibility anymore? Open to debate. Certainly not as much as it used to.

Musashi Kishimoto and Eichiro Oda: Are they rich? Yes. Do they have internet fans the world over, and more fan devotion than most creators? Yes. Do their shows succeed in America as much as Family Guy? I like them a lot better than family guy, but then again, who am I anyway. It really depends on who you ask…

Obama: Republicans and Good old boys? No / Democrats and Blacks? Mostly.

So yeah, now a days, it truly is hard to have your cake and eat it too, even when your on the very top of the food chain. Never forget that. Go where the love is.
