Another reason you should see Penn and Teller.
One episode (reparations) has an intro where they talk about how they did a show busting the war on drugs, and they were potheads, and then they busted environmental issues, and they were corporate puppets, and so on and so on.
If you don't agree with everything someone says, you are totally against them. If you say something similar to someone else, you're in the same group.
Sure, Dixie's missing the point, but she's arguing that the fans are wrong as a defense of the product, which is off the mark. Simply acknowledging that the problem is not Russo, and further that Jarrett is far more to blame for any shit you might see on TV, doesn't mean you buy into the notion that therefore, it's okay.
I don't really care, mind. Russo should be fired, too. The guy gets a bad rap for destroying WCW, worse than he deserves even, but that doesn't make him a good writer, a good booker, or anything short of anathema to rasslin'.
It's just that firing him won't solve anything TNA's got going. Among other things, they need a full fledged revolution right now, and it sounds like maybe they have one.
