I don't know if any of you saw this, but Fox at it's finest.

"You can get all the news you can at Fox, now here's Tom with Star Trek strippers...."
(In all fairness, maybe a sunday morning broadcast shouldn't be a heavy political discussion, but it also shouldn't be Star Trek Strippers. Ideally, there should be a very clear divide between 'light' junk segments and actually news. There's so many complicated events happening everyday, yet these 24hr news channels have to create shit to report on.)
Another interesting part is the montel link.

And his show got canceled 3 days after the appearance.
"CBS Television Distribution has announced that the Montel show is ending its run after 17 years on the air. The syndicated talk show?s fate was reportedly sealed when a number of FOX-owed stations decided against renewing the show for another year. "

I think Montel has probably done his share of shit jerry spinger-esque shows, but having him canceled is insane. 17 years on the air, then you get punked by news corp.
