Does the future belong, then, to the clowns, the anarchic blogosphere, the anti-politicians, and the populist showmen who entertain the masses with jokes, slurs, and indiscretions on TV channels, which some of them actually own? If the success of a TV pundit with a red rubber nose is a rebuke to the dull and fawning anchormen, the political success in recent years of entertainers, demagogues, and public figures who make a virtue of their indiscretion is a slap in the face of the professional political class which they profess to despise.
那么，未来是否属于小丑、奉行无政府主义的博客圈、反政客和在电视频道上用玩笑、诽谤、爆料来哗众取宠的平民主持人（有的甚至实际拥有电视频道）？如果戴着红鼻子的电视批评家的成功是对乏味和阿谀奉承的主持人的反讽，那么近年来娱乐人、煽动者和把轻率言行引以为荣的公众人物所取得的政治成功可以说是打在公开抨击这些人的职业政客脸上的一记耳光。
