That's a joke. A bad and incredibly sad "joke."

The rise of Pox Noise was the beginning of the end.



Anybody remember the 1976 movie "Network"? They lamented such a thing in that, as well.

"...and the news IS showbiz, Max."
- fictional TV network programming chief Diana Christensen, on her way to taking over the network's news division, to soon-to-be-ousted news division chief Max Schumacher. Christensen was played by Faye Dunaway, opposite William Holden as Schumacher. (One of my three all-time favorite movies, along with "A Hard Day's Night," and "2001: A Space Odyssey".)
