The Yesterday Show

Once upon a time in a land far away there was something called The Today Show. Sadly, the show died (along with the rest of journalism) when the evil NBC Empire took over. NBC wanted everyone to believe what they believed so they decided not to report the news. Instead, facts were replaced with opinions and The Today Show was replaced with a show that looked remarkably similar, but sounded very different indeed. It was called The Yesterday Show. 

The Today Show would report on new topics every morning, but The Yesterday Show could not do this. Instead of hearing about current news events, viewers would now hear the same exact stories every single day. The show sounded something like this:

"Good Morning! This is "today" January 30, 2009. I'm Meredith Viera and this is Matt Lauer. Let's take a look at stories making headlines:" 

 

Matt: "The failing economy is a result of the failed Bush Administration, but President Obama will fix it. Blah, blah, blah."

Meredith: "Sarah Palin is a joke. Blah, blah, blah." 

Matt: "President Obama is awesomeness in human form. Blah, blah, blah." 

Meredith: "Michelle Obama will be the new "Mommy in Chief". Hahaha! Blah, blah, blah." 

Matt: "Now Ann will take a look at other news stories..."

Ann: "The economy is really bad. Blah, blah, blah. The war continues as Americans struggle to keep their homes. Blah, blah, blah. Soon President Obama will put on his Superman cape and stop the fighting in the Middle East. Now here's Al with a look at the weather."

Al: "Well, it looks like we will have some weather today. That's what's happening around the country. Here's what's happening in your neck of the woods."

Unfortunately, people stopped watching The Yesterday Show because everyone knew what they would say. Americans actually wanted to hear real news, not just the same old blah, blah, blah day after day. Maybe someone should have told NBC before their empire collapsed.  

The End.

Moral of the story: Telling the truth is good.
