Faceless News

Ever wonder what it would be if none of the drivel being shown on television in the form of news casts, weather updates or traffic was beamed without a person being employed to read this stuff? Its called Radio. So it was one fine day when some marketeer came up with the idea to dress these dolts up and put a tie or skirt on them and show them to the viewers. Then there were viewers. Thus was born Television. Not just everyday yokels but people who thought that watching these highly paid readers (with poor grammar and diction) was also entertaining. To the point that their hiring and firing and salaries and other trivia have itself become headline news. Same with the actors in Hollywood. I mean how is what these people do, their sexual preference, their family history or their alcoholic dependencies a matter of national debate? Does this sound like something a first world country should be doing?
