Yep, nothing says "high journalistic standards" like "Joe Millionaire," "the Bachelorette" and "American Idol."

Not to mention Brokaw, Jennings, Rather and Couric.

TV's higher journalistic standards? Like Rather's interview with Saddam? Brit Hume reported that Rather practiced the questions in advance in his hotel room, OUT LOUD, in front of a mirror, all thirty of them. In spite of the fact that he knew that Iraqi hotel rooms are routinely bugged. And the phony accent of the actor reading the translation?

Those higher TV journalistic standards?
