I'm sure the only people watching this show were college students, but we needed it. All around were the media lapdogs of the Reagan Administration, passing off absurdities as though they were normal.
Only Ellerbee and her colleagues got on national TV and said, "Do they really expect us to believe that garbage?" That it was at 2:30 a.m. made it all the more real.
That the news show was short-lived was inevitable. But for a short time, while we were going without sleep, we believed a dissenting voice might be possible.
And so it goes....
