In very few places can we find arrogance and ignorance so finely mixed as to defy separation.

The Steve and Cokie Show has amnesia but I recall the “media mediation” in the Alar apple fraud, The Audi automobiles that accelerated on their own as 60 Minutes had an air compressor attached to the transmission, The Great Global Cooling That Wasn't, just to net a few rotten fish from the mainstream.
I would call it A Hall of Shame but the “well-trained professionals” have none.
