Even if the talk show host is not trying to be overly sensational, the idea
of voyeurism nauseates me. I never listen to any of those shows. Why on
earth people care to listen to another being counseled is beyond me. People
having physical problems, or legal difficulties, don't invite the whole
world to come in to the medical doctor's office. or in to their divorce
proceedings. Why they phone these shows only to allow their problems to be
aired before everyone is beyond me.
