reality shows and late night talk shows to try and help their
ratings. They write, “In the past few weeks, the No. 3 cable news
channel has started seeking out reality-show ideas and big-name stars
not afraid to talk politics. They have even begun working on a

networks do several times a year but a first for the old-line news
channel. Find the full story at the New York
