What bugs me most, is that these talk shows often try to present themselves as "investigators" or "going undercover to discover the truth", only to dupe the average tv viewer that they are presenting "news".
These shows are ENTERTAINMENT. What other possible motives would any talk show have for soliciting groups of any sort? It's sensationalism at best, and, well, you can imagine and probably have seen a lot of the worst in this genre.
"Researchers" trolling message boards are not researchers at all - they are usually under- or non-paid interns or low-level puppets trying to get around the proper channels. I cannot imagine anyone who respects him or herself to go on these shows and allow themselves to be exploited.
I can also imagine said show to lambast members on message boards where they have asked for participants, and received a less-than-warm welcome.
Anyone catch the Tyra in a fat suit episode? Fake, hollow, and insincere. Gag-worthy.
