    A function of our entertainmnet media, perhaps?

    Glenn refers to Gregory and his ilk as "our media stars". Perhaps we should just accept they're nothing but entertainers, certainly not actual journalists, and begin treating them as such.

    This includes telling them this to their face at every opportunity. And treating them like the walking jokes they are (well versed mockery of them in print and opinion, for example).
