Funk Babblings

With fiction shows, I don't mind so much if it's done as part of the scenery and doesn't draw attention -- but they want to draw attention so that's rare these days. With nonfiction like this upcoming show (which admittedly I wouldn't watch anyway), it begs the question of credibility -- what are they saying (or not saying) just because it's a sponsor?

But then, I have similar questions just listening to NPR and hearing that ADM or Wal-Mart are "underwriters".
