No kidding. But why make sense when you can be stuck on stupid? MTV, The Weather Channel, ESPN
they all gave up what they do that folks liked to be something "more." And "more political" and thus alienating is all they have to show for it.
I am reminded of some great comedians all of whom at some time in their careers had to prove that they could be serious actors. Most of them just showed that their talent was comedy and they should stick to comedy.
