Reality shows rather unreal

Wendy Roth, the co-executive producer of reality show 'Wife Swap', acknowledged 'that mention of the five years Mrs. Oeth spent raising her children full time was omitted from the episode, not because it would have complicated the episode's stark premise - coldhearted working mom versus nurturing stay-at-home mom - but because "we don't do back stories on our show."' More fake reality here. For an opinion on counterfeit news, check this. Quote: 'The Bush administration has come under a lot of criticism for its attempts to fob off government propaganda as genuine news reports. But it is time to acknowledge that the nation's news organizations have played a large and unappetizing role in deceiving the public.' In related news, Yale Professor Craphogger is launching a Fake Newsweekly printed on paper towels. Slogan: 'Fake news you can use.' Professor Craphogger is also looking into fake elections to choose fake representatives.
