It is probably symptomatic of any system in free-fall that, when you think you have reached nadir, you find there is an even lower strata to be plumbed. Thus did MSNBC interview the noted social and political savant, Jerry Springer, on trends in modern politics. A man best known for a television show in which guests throw chairs and punches at one another might be an appropriate one to comment on the state of society. Boobus would undoubtedly find him an acceptable philosopher-king!
Should this move improve MSNBC’s ratings, to what shall we look forward in future “news” reports: the graphic opinings of Beavis and Butt-Head, perhaps?
