You say "that I assume this is a show and the only thing they offer is entertainment."
That is the problem. This is not a show and the only thing they offer is entertainment. They offer more than that. If it was a show, there would be scripts, Directors, Producers, stage hands, writers, etc...
I posted this yesterday because of odd thinking as a joke and I think it needs reposting due to your rant (881 words).
There is a big difference between a show & real life and this is the latter.
"What is real to one could be false to another" is the perception of understanding. What you see or perceive happened might be different than what I perceived happen. We could be both right & both wrong. Only the truth is the truth and until we know the truth or facts, it is only what we perceive to be correct. Since they speak a different language and even with translations, we never hear every conversation that is said. Yury & kitek as well as others due a fantastic job in getting us information as it happens but they can't listen 24/7.
I was trying to convey that people make assumptions and never listen to what certain facts are.
