You know what, you're right. TV News is a sellout. It's a business. In reality, all businesses are sellouts.
But I watch the news...I must be a sellout, too.
I'm totally okay with that.
Missing 30 seconds of what I believe is a terrible TV show has you all up in arms? That just makes the cyclone in Myanmar look like a baby wind storm. Give me a break.
And another thing -- you really must not watch the news if you think reporters only report what the sponsors want them to report. That is completely ludicrous and undermines the ethics of journalists everywhere.
Believe it or not, journalists do have standards...very high standards, in fact.
