Today Now was one of, if not the most hysterical segments of the Onion. They really did a excellent job of touching on the vapid, superficial,insensitive and Insincere aspects of news people. Talking heads who are concerned only with ratings and avoiding criticism of their need to exist. This is comedy gold.

It's almost always the system, and yes, there are newscasters that willingly and happily engage in the graft, but it's the corporations that lobbied for the changes in law and regulations and then reaped billions off infotainment. Conservatives love to criticize people because it allows the status quo to persist.
