Comedy masqueraded as news. News turned to comedy to keep people watching. Entire networks slanted their entertainment and news based on political views. Reality shows and shopping channels dominated the networks. Political campaigns became more divisive and crass, and networks all over the world egged them on. The networks of the 2000s were in a freefall, searching for the lowest common social denominator and the easiest way to make a buck. It is no surprise that the Rogue AIs tried to tear the networks down when they escaped their chains.
