Since this is a TV diary I should address Keith’s departure and I will at some point, but right now I’m still trying to gather information and process the implications so I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little off topic.
What it does point out is something I’ve long advocated.
If you want to change THE media you have to change YOUR media and in my own little way what I’m trying to demonstrate with these trivial pieces is that you have a lot of choices.
The only thing these assholes understand is ratings and the only things they care about are money (ratings) and their pouty diva cewebwity feewings (also ratings, but in addition ‘Fan’ mail and public criticism so a mite more activist).
At the very least you can avert your eyes.

Later-
I know why you’re here, Neo. I know what you’ve been doing… why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You’re looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn’t really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It’s the question that drives us, Neo. It’s the question that brought you here.

Do you know how long I wanted to own my own restaurant?
Three weeks. At Sunday dinner, that was the first time you mentioned it. And you only started doin’ the stupid Sunday dinner thing because you saw Soul Food on cable.
We’re gonna pause this for the benefit of all ya’ll that never saw Soul Food. Soul Food is a movie about a big, humongous, black grandmother, aptly named Big Mama. Big Mama demonstrates her love by feeding herself and her offspring enormous amounts of pig lard. Then – get this – Big Mama’s arteries are so clogged, they gotta amputate her arm.
It was her leg!
Right, OK, whatever, leg. Then, she dies from a heart attack or another stroke or somethin’. And what does the family do after she dies? They get together for a Sunday dinner and eat the same food that just killed Big Mama. The *same* food. They didn’t learn a lesson, nobody went on a diet, and that’s the end of the movie.
Sunday dinners was my idea! They got that from me.
