In the 50s there was a scandal about quiz shows being rigged. Now people can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy (California leads with way, providing career paths starting with acting and ending with politics), and nobody gives a shit.
They probably think all those people that BushCo have murdered are going to come back and take a bow at the end of his administration.
Somebody should do a poll... I saw a poll recently that was totally astonishing in terms of how fantastically ignorant (or misled by Fox and so on) Americans are about just about everything... but then, Ollie North and G. Gordon Liddy can walk around and pretend to be heroes and people believe them... bad career move for Hitler and Stalin to have died when they did, I can see the reality tv shows, the commentary on fox news, the best selling books, the parades, the standing ovations....

Lance Bass: I'm gay
'N Sync singer worried he would harm group
Wednesday, July 26, 2006; Posted: 1:16 p.m. EDT (17:16 GMT)
Lance Bass is involved with Reichen Lehmkuhl of "Amazing Race."
NEW YORK (AP) -- Lance Bass, band member of 'N Sync, says he's gay and in a "very stable" relationship with a reality show star.
Bass, who formed 'N Sync with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn't earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn't want to affect the group's popularity.
"I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," he tells the magazine.
'N Sync is known for a string of hits including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me." The band went on hiatus in 2002. Bass has also found headlines for undertaking astronaut training and failing to raise money for a trip into space.
Bass says he wondered if his coming out could prompt "the end of 'N Sync." He explains, "So I had that weight on me of like, 'Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it's bad.' So I just never did."
The singer says he's in a "very stable" relationship with 32-year-old actor Reichen Lehmkuhl, winner of season four of CBS' "Amazing Race."
Bass and Fatone, 29, are developing a sitcom pilot inspired by the screwball comedy "The Odd Couple," in which his character will be gay.
"The thing is, I'm not ashamed -- that's the one thing I want to say," Bass says. "I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy."
