The modern media is about making money off of stupid people.

Example, this lead is showing up in news aggregators:

Is ‘Long Island Medium’ Fake?

The actual article title is currently:

Is Theresa Caputo A Fake? ‘Long Island Medium’ Star Bashed By Investigator

Its at IBT, a brand by the same private company that bought out Newsweek.

The opening paragraph:

Theresa Caputo’s reality series “Long Island Medium” has consistently raked in high ratings for the TLC network since its 2011 debut but that hasn’t stopped some viewers from speculating that the celebrity medium’s ability to talk with the deceased may be fraudulent. After five seasons of air-time, one investigator is now stepping forward to call the reality-TV star’s gift a hoax.

**gasp**

You mean a “medium” talking to the dead is fake!!

Say it isn’t so!
