Not to be funny but at least to be current and relevant - of course, since HBO 
only has to answer to subscribers and not advertisers, they can afford to be as 
irreverent as they want to be. And that's the problem with news on broadcast 
and/or basic cable. Somewhere, "service to the public trust" became "service to 
those who give us ad revenue and God help us if we piss them off."
