Insert statement of outrage and disbelief here

Ok so, yes, Tom Tomorrow is already all over this. And so is Mary. But holy shit I can't just ignore it! So Remember VNRs? That's right they're the handy little news director's tools that allow you to save on production costs as well as all that time wasted on actual reporting and instead devote half of your newscast to pre-packaged advertisements dressed up by some drug company or orange juice concern to look like a report on the benefits of consuming drugs or orange juice. Ok class, what is the next step after this. Yup.. your newscast is now being co-opted by deceitful political propaganda. Yet another reminder to anyone who has a great idea for a cheesy couldn't-happen-in-real-life novel, that the Bush folks are still one step ahead of you.
