I'm reminded of a Steve Jobs quote. "When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It's the truth."

Ha very true and one I'm fully aware of, but it doesn't make it any less hilarious. And it's why I stopped watching the news long ago.

Many journalists seem to have more in common with salesman than writers.
