That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
We take what's shown on television as the truth, and it isn't. News isn't even the truth on television. If you look up the definition of what news is, it isn't that what we're watching on the new - it's entertainment.
Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.
Let's be real: It's just TV; it's just entertainment.
Supermarket tabloids and celebrity gossip shows are not just innocently shallow entertainment, but a fundamental part of a much larger movement that involves apathy, greed and hierarchy.
People love gossip. It's the biggest thing that keeps the entertainment industry going.
Think of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.' It is equally intoxicating for children and adults. All this 'crossover' talk is something publishers are using as a selling device - a kind of post hoc rationalisation of what was happening already.
Today's audience knows more about what's on television than what's in life.
Viewers don't care how big media companies are. They care whether they can dump those they don't like, whether because of lousy service or because of crummy shows.
News is the best drama on television because it's real.
