That isn't journalism, it's theatrics. Television news is not producing journalism. At least, it is not producing journalism as we were taught it in the 50's at UCLA and other major universities in the United States. People went out and hunted down the news. Some still do, but not for major network television.
Network television is next to useless.
Major print journalism is following close behind, because all major media are diluting the truth, avoiding the issues or slanting their reporting. Then we have the great checkout counter tabloids about who's in who else's bed, or what prophecies the seers found in their coffee grounds. People buy and read that junk too. Frankly, I wouldn't let them give me one free. Tonight makes it seem that way.
