• Whatever the presumed motivation for engaging Trash TV, critics claim the effects on viewers will be disastrous because it blurs conventional boundaries between fact and fantasy -- thereby confusing audiences and manipulating their sense of reality. ... News & World Report special feature on Tabloid TV, the authors acknowledge that the line between news and entertainment has never been as firm as purists might wish, however, reality television obviates the distinction altogether, news becoming merely the raw material from which entertainment is crafted. ...
