To catch a douchebag
I’ve always hated To Catch A Predator, for many reasons. One is their unethical standards for getting a story. After all, once the press goes from covering the story to being the story, it’s all down hill from there. The other, and more important reason, is because those kinds of shows remind me we’re in the decline of western civilization. When you reach that point, how far are we from tossing some Christians in a pit of lions? Really.
So, I’m sort of amused that the host of that horrid show was caught on camera cheating on his wife. I wonder if he had a seat over there?

I actually enjoy his show, an admission against interest on my part to watch anything on NBC other than Dateline.
NBC is the worst network by far, and it is my wife’s default station.
I think that most of these TV types consider an extra-marital indulgence simply a perk of the job for someone as important as they think they are.
A few years ago, Bill O’Reilly paid off a former Fox employee with whom he had had “phone sex”.
And the people on their shows (Elliott Spitzer and Bob Bechel, for example, are whore-mongers).
But this certainly is funny.

Well, I mean a former President was caught cheating. If it is ok for the highest office in the land, the rest of us should be beyond reproach I would think.
In reality, it is always sad to see this kind of thing. Someone, somewhere will be hurt by it.

Except we’re not. This is my big problem with news reporting like this. There’s a lot of problems that have been steadily diminishing over the past thirty years which everyone thinks is getting worse because the national news media makes people think the problems are far more prevalent than they really are.

Sometimes, there’s just no substitute for that ol’ Instant Karma.
