they are typical examples of todays mediot brigade. Lowest common denominator; always go for controversy over truth; never do anything the hard way- easy route always; and going for the worst possible angle whenever possible since that sells better.
Agreed.
Controversy sells, and you can hardly find even a network news program that isn't full of hyperbole -- CNN and Fox are good examples.
So, it's all about viewership, and these idiots will say anything to establish their reputation as "outspoken", so that we'll all watch to see what kind of crazy statements they might make, thus increasing their marketshare and advertising revenue, thereby increasing their own income.
That's entertainment these days. Truth be damned.
Having said that, Lee is screwed for the present, and there is no reason to feel good about his future.
