Or better yet, smugly affirm each other’s notions, from their position of objective Olympian majesty. This is one reason why I have zero interest in pursuing appearances on the news shows. The idea of subjecting myself to discussions featuring the length of a fruit fly’s life cycle and the ntellectual depth of a mosquito-breeding swamp puddle makes me shiver. I simply have no any interest in a medium where “I disagree with your facts” is considered an effective rebuttal.
News that purports to be entertainment is neither.
