Imagine a court hearing being filled with Super Mario sound effects, laughter, and commentary like a sports broadcast.
That's exactly what news programs that use music, sound effects, and commentators who are little more than gawkers are doing.
That's not reporting; it's merely a show that looks like it, a desecration of reality.
