Most of the time it just made me laugh! But seriously I don't watch these shows; they're simply not my cup of tea and I don't really like the idea of people dragging their personal lives out on national TV. Somethings should remain private or if "counselling" is necessary it should be done by people qualified to help not a baying audience and a presenter thinking about his ratings.<BR/><BR/>Going off on a tangent - Have you read Ben Elton's Blind Faith? It's written his own unique style but it throws up some questions about blogging/internet that are quite interesting. I think you'd enjoy the read. I might review it sometime on TVFH, it's a powerful book.Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679828344172201214.post-75118995695948791552009-03-13T19:08:00.000-07:002009-03-13T19:08:00.000-07:00I agree Heather.

I usually regret it. <BR/><BR/>I have a friend who says "outside of elementary school, Easy and Fair are just four letter words." So naturally I laughed at your comment. So we agree on an intellectual level. Thanks for the visit. I've missed seeing you around.intrepidideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621013901216084367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679828344172201214.post-18684348533324851272009-03-13T17:56:00.000-07:002009-03-13T17:56:00.000-07:00Wow. ~First time I've actually seen him in act...Wow. ~First time I've actually seen him in action, and I have to confess that whole trash TV thing is beyond my personal comprehension. <BR/> <BR/>As for "The Fairness Doctrine" -quantifying what is fair and equal is better left to the consumer who chooses by reading, watching and listening -or not. Admittedly, some candidates are more camera-ready than others, but the Doctrine smacks a little of "you must invite everyone in the class" which is best left in elementary school classrooms in favor of more adult thoughtful decisions. I think that normal curiosities lead us to fill in the informational picture most of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
