ANOTHER HAND WRINGER (linked by ROMY, natch):

A vivid example of the smashing of the news-entertainment barrier occurred this month when Hardball host Chris Matthews appeared on an episode of NBC’s The West Wing and “interviewed” Alan Alda, the actor who portrayed "Hawkeye" Pierce on M*A*S*H and now plays a presidential candidate....Anyone who tuned in for a few moments halfway through the Oct. 9 episode may have been momentarily duped into believing Hawkeye was running for the White House for real.

More than a half-century ago the sainted C-uh-B-uh-S did a TV "mockumentary" series called YOU ARE THERE. HHHWWWALTER CRRRONKITE appeared on it. So did ST. MICHAEL of WALLACE.

SO DID ST. EDWARD OF MURROW.
