What my wife affectionately refers to as “InfoTainment” is one of the many reasons that I do not watch TV.
InfoTainment |ˈinfō-tərˈtānmənt| -noun
•Useless information paraded as useful for entertainment purposes: Fox News is 70% infotainment.
•(A contraction of “information” and “entertainment”)
A problem I find with mainstream television is the blur of pertinent information and entertainment information.
Just after this appearance on Fox, Montel William’s 17 year show was canceled.
