Budgetary excuses? I cannot say I have noticed any scrimping and saving among telejournalists, nor have I read about an erosion of network profits. But their tax rebate checks are in the mail...that oughtta help.
Readers? That's so last millennium...we've got VIEWERS. The journalists are now readers, of prepared texts. And the answer is yes, viewers DO take their cues from frivolous jokester information celebrities who read the "news."
It's like a computer game...not Grand Theft Auto, but Grand Theft America.

You should sell the idea for that game. If this were yesteryear it would be a board game a la candyland. Let me see, instead of Mollasses Swamp, Lollypop Woods and Gumdrop Mountains there would be Airport Bathroom Rendevous (gay), the scorching Callgirl Desert, Sea of War Profiteers, and Pension Raiders of the Lost Park. If you land on a black spot the Evil Cheney might eat you alive.
Parents would let their kids play with this one as it has all become so commonplace and accepted.
Market it. You'll make tons.
