The same thing has happened to the concept of newscasters. ;-) You can now expect to see a "hot babe" with big hair reading you the news, alongside a "hot" lookin' guy in a suit. They trade zippy one-liners back and forth between telling you about slaughter in Gaza or Sri Lanka and the latest stupid rumour about Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie. It's not news, it's Info-tainment, designed for tawdry minds with a 3 second attention span.
