Huh??!? As I pointed out to "True Adonis," if people want entertainment, they tune in to Idol or their favorite sitcom or whatever strikes their fancy at any given moment. If they want news, they'll tune into a source they like and trust. Is that really so hard to figure out? You're trying too hard to over-intellectualize this whole issue.
Um, oreilly and olbermann aren't news.
They're interpretation of the news.
if I want the NEWS, I watch CNN headline news, which delivers the facts and no commentary, with no pundits.
If I want a left-leaning interpretation of the day's events, I watch Olbermann.
For right-leaning interpretation, I watch OReilly or Hannity.
They're not news. They're pundits who analyze the news. It's ENTERTAINMENT based upon news. Much like the Daily Show.
