Maybe in a trainwreck-sort of way . . .
ms(f)nbc fiction has become quite disappointing (as seen in their ratings). It is sort of like the second cycle of "Law & Order"where the initial crime exposes a SECOND crime (oooh, didn't that coming!).
In this case ms(f)nbc first invents something to be outraged about, then gets outraged.
Just like with L&O, eventually you come to expect and predict the outcome and it just isn't fun anymore.
L&O of course changed to phase 3: "No wait, the original guy DID do it!" I wonder if ms(f)nbc has similar scriptwriters to change how they present their fiction.
