Borat and “The Daily Show” Journalism

A poignant commentary in today’s LA Times wonders why:

The “Today” show, Fox News, the Guardian, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Entertainment Weekly, Premiere and most local newspapers are willing to pretend that Borat is a real Kazakh reporter who put out a real documentary.

However, maybe if the movie stuck to scripted appearances,
he wouldn’t have been sued or assaulted. Now that is one wild and crazy guy.
