It’s a really bummer that she got to do a piece on this guy, and this was the best angle she could come up with.
If someone is gonna bend the truth to entertain me, I will gladly choose a freaking comedian doing a bit over a journalist. For a show, there is an implicit agreement that the audience will suspend disbelief so that they might be entertained. I shouldn’t have to have the same agreement with a journalist. I’m beginning to think that journalists actually needs to put “fact based fiction writer” as their tagline so we can actually know what we are getting in to.
