Or Any World Series 18 or World War 2!
I have read and heard innumerable reports that Fox broadcast the most-watched program in human history. The source of these reports? Fox. The subject of the program? The 17 current GOP candidates for President of the United States.
Really. We are being told that the people nobody wants to hear, let alone watch for hours on TV, drew more attention than the birth of the Christ Child.
I have also read reports criticizing Donald Trump for broadcasting his apparently very high opinion of himself.
Really. And sometimes in the same sentence I hear the "news" that the most-watched program in human history, as reported by the company that broadcast the program, "unfortunately" included a person whose source for the tales of his accomplishments is himself.
What was that word Jon Stewart used to use on his program, the word that describes his sendoff: "If you smell something, say something."
There are two other words that fit the situation, too: Bad faith. It comes in many guises, many forms, sometimes in newspapers, sometimes in claims and Courts, and sometimes on TV.
