. . . could be considered "good" or not. But what I do know is that the televised "press" isn't in the business of journalism.

What one sees on television (and, for that matter, hears on radio) is a show. Just a show. Like "Little House on the Prairie" or "Star Trek." A show. They look to put on what they think people will watch, that's all.

That there are people who still don't understand that surprises me.
