Woody Allen also tried to marry his adopted daughter, and has been in psychiatric sessions since he was in his 20s. You can pick 'em, Donald. See if Spike Jonze is interested not if he chewed his arm off.

Agreed. Mostly. PBS appears to be less sensationalist. Where to put the blame? People who tune in and buy the products. If we want to put TV's feet to the fire, boycott the advertisers, because the networks don't/can't control content. Or more likely, don't care.

I often said that Faux doesn't report the news, they just comment on news OTHER reporters have had published. But to be Faux Original, they twist the story to politicize it into sensationalism and propaganda. They don't even have any actual reporters on staff, do they? Just talking heads.
