Media Burn

This was an interesting piece. I really enjoyed the message that they were trying to spread. It was comedy making a statement. Those words that the fake JFK said "THE WORLD MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS DONE HERE TODAY, BUT IT SHALL NOT FORGET THE IMAGE CREATED HERE." were really excellent. I noticed it was a trend in discussion that everyone thought that the new anchors were stupid fool who thought it was silly antics or that it went over their heads. I disagree with that 100%. I personally think that they knew what was trying to be said. They saw the message and they saw that they were the targets of these guys. I think they were playing dumb. I think they had to play dumb. They had no time to react to it, they had to get to the next story. They cant comment on it in a fashion that would make the news look bad. They cant say they agreed with it because its their livelihood. I dont think they were given enough credit. I think they knew exactly what was being said, you can tell this by the nervous tone in their voices.
