"I think we should stand strong and indicate that that is something that crosses a threshold, crosses a red line, for the United States of America.''
General General Norton Schwartz was talking about a report in Izvestia that Russia might consider stationing nuclear bombers in Cuba if the U.S. missile-defense plans go ahead. But he could just as well have been talking about Las Vegas-based Fox 5 TV's decision to start the day taking in some "nontraditional revenue" by placing two cups of McDonald's iced coffee on the news desk in front of morning anchors: Jason Feinberg and Monica Jackson.
Apparently the product is fake. But the news is still reality TV.
