Television Entertainment: An Oxymoron

toast99 | 08 October, 2005 05:43

Occasionally I watch television to attempt to broaden my outlook on life, and to be entertained, though I realise that television entertainment is an oxymoron.

This last week I have watched The World with Neil Cavuto on a few occasions, to glean some sense of American politics and social awareness from a Fox Network perspective.

Is there anybody in the US who takes this man seriously? On the few interviews he carried out he spent more time interrupting his guest to push his own views and agenda, often finishing his small rant with a plug for his book. Because this show is a glorified plug for a series of book signings in tandem with Oliver North. This guy is incredible.

We have some useless individuals who profess to entertain in the UK, two who spring to mind being Eammon Holmes (smug, but having nothing discernible to be smug about!) and Richard Keys (ex-daytime TV eyecandy for the post-menopausal now presenting football programmes???) but Cavuto takes the biscuit! Not so much an oxymoron than a poxy moron.

And Anne Coulter. Think Thatcher, as a hooker but without the intellect.
