Is it Real??
I had the most unfortunate experience of taking a friend to the hospital emergency room, and while waiting for her, being forced into watching about a half an hour of TV station MS-NBC, the last 15 minutes of a Rachael Meadows, and the first 15 minutes of a Keith Olbermann. I do not know what it is that these two are trying to convey, it is definitely not truthful, honest, and/or real news and information. But, they did not seem to be going for the all-out over the top weirdo pseudo-comedy of Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert. Do people watch these nut-cases every night? Do people know or care that what is being said (reported) is pure fantasy fabrication? How and why is this garbage allowed on the air - maybe this is really why we need a return of the "Fairness Doctrine." The First Amendment guarantees freedoms to the press, but there is no guarantee to us the public that anything will be true!!!
