Irony & TV
Every weekend, MSNBC devotes long hours to the hellish conditions in a variety of U.S. penitentiaries on weekend non-news programs (though, they are to be commended for not ignoring what's going on in these institutions) -- and of course these institutions are putting on their best face when TV cameras are showcasing their particular institution -- but when it comes to their regular news reports, they have the gall to spend more time talking about N. Korea's prisons as opposed to Uncle Sam's. Not that institutions in the U.S. should be like fraternity houses, necessarily, but if you're going to devote time to other countries' imperfections, at least give equal time to Uncle Sam, who also houses political prisoners.
