Infotainment

NBC's top news anchor, Brian Williams, is hosting Saturday Night Live. When did we get to the point where the people we are relying on for accurate news reporting are appearing on variety comedy shows? No wonder we can't tell what's news and what's entertainment. Meanwhile, the truly entertaining Katie Couric is being de-personalized so she can deliver the news. We loved her before. Now that she's anchoring CBS news, she isn't allowed to be the person we liked. Why? Because she's a woman, and we can't take women seriously (apparently) unless they subvert their personalities and turn into robots. Yet Brian Williams can do bawdy skits on comedy shows.
