While person A may know it's entertainment, they still have to deal with the consequences of person B not knowing it; thanks in large part to the news source purposely misleading person B. If it had no actual impact in the real world, then I doubt anyone would care.
almost all major news programs on TV are more opinions and assertions than actual facts these days.. And many are controlled by 1 man
