I've never seen dispatches and don't think I'll be watching it much. Viewers need to demand real news coverage and turn anything else off, instead of feeding on sensationalized hype like "undercover mosque." Media is increasingly designed to sell instead of tell (ooh, I just made that up...) and appeals to people's stereotypes and misconceptions to do so. They should be telling stories about things that are really happening, but nobody would watch then, cuz these days, we need to have new news at the top of every hour. And to meet those quotas, you need to make up bullshit about crazy dangerous people who really are up to nothing too important. In my opinion, you could find more useful information on Grey's Anatomy than from watching Dispatch. It's all much ado about nothing guys...
Now if it's real entertainment you want...check this out
