The world was a much better place when only Steve Jobs had a reality distortion field. But no. Now, we have Fox News chairman Roger Ailes winning the "First Amendment Leadership Award" from the Radio and Television News Directors Association, the same group to whom Edward Murrow gave his famous keynote on the future of television news. Then again, I suppose Fox does illustrate the wonders of the First Amendment -- say what you want, reality be damned!
However, if someone from Fox wins the Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence in journalism, I'm pretty much going to give up hope for reality based TV journalism.
