The sociologists of media/culture will tell us what’s going on here. But me, in my naivete, I did a double take when I saw the TV listings for WNET, the local PBS outlet for us liberal elitists.
(Click, click now, on the image for a larger view.)Yes, PBS is showing “Jessica Simpson: Happy Christmas.” Jessica Simpson in the PBS line-up. As they say on Sesame Street, one of these things is not like the others.
I even checked the WNET website to make sure someone hadn’t pranked the Times. But there it is (“. . . guests Willie Nelson, pop sensation (and sister) Ashlee Simpson, and more. New tracks from Simpson's upcoming album . . .”) With Charlie Rose and Gwen Ifill joining Jessica to sing “The Little Drummer Boy.”
