ABC, NBC Play Moral Midgets for Access to Charlie Sheen
The saddest media bias on display this week was the desperate hunger and thirst for that slice of Ratings Heaven known as Charlie Sheen's Continuing Moral Collapse. He's been All Access Charlie, granting high Nielsens wherever he goes, speaking of how he is High on Himself and “bi-winning” with his two “goddesses” camped at his abode. Network interviewers have tried not to alienate their guest with tough questions. Washington Post TV writer Lisa de Moraes ably brought her trademark snark to this amoral parade. First there was ABC's 20/20 with Andrea Canning on Tuesday night: “It's no secret that you have an affinity for porn stars,” Canning told Sheen. “Well, I mean, wow, listen to that statement,” Sheen joshed back. “Why?” Canning asked, speaking for us all. “Well, look at what they do – look at what I do. Duh…They're the best at what they do and I'm the best at what I do and together it's like, it's on! Sorry, Middle America, yeah, I said it.” “Is it the same for prostitutes – is it that it's good sex?” Canning continued. “Who wants to deal with all the small talk and nonsense? You're paying for something that eliminates that. It makes sense to me,” Sheen explained. The Post writer then added that on Wednesday, when Sheen went live on “Today” with a very agreeable Jeff Rossen, “the sex goddesses had been transformed into Mary Poppins.”
