Is Television News simply Reality TV?

Ann Coulter - Barbie? Paris? Definitely a Simple Life!Fox News is starting to resemble the ‘Simple Life’ reality TV series featuring Ann Coulter as their Paris Hilton. The number of seemingly daff blonde ‘political analysts’ are ever more present on the set of every news network. But is it all news?

There seems to be no low to which Coulter won’t sink in her pursuit of airtime. She recently apparently endorsed the murder of Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) and suggested that Democratic support of a recent Supreme Court decision is “siding with Al Qaeda.” Coulter’s musings about violence against her perceived enemies are nothing new; she once suggested that former President Clinton be assassinated.

You might think that the media would distance themselves from such advocacy of political murder. But you’d be wrong: Coulter continues to be invited on a wide range of television programs, including on MSNBC and NBC.
