Today, President Obama, during an unscheduled press conference made reference to Donald Trump’s run for president when he said, “This is not entertainment. This is not a reality show………”
First Lady Michelle Obama appeared on the CBS show “NCIS” on May 3rd, which was filmed inside the White House. NCIS is not a reality show. It is fictional drama. The episode entitled “Homefront” was produced in conjunction with “Joining Forces” ( a support group for Service Members, Vets and their families, started by Mrs. Obama and Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, in 2011). The extras on set of the “Round Table” scene included actual military spouses. Please note: I find great value in “Joining Forces” and what help it might provide.
So, I guess reality is actually acceptable as long as it is tempered by enough entertaining fiction. Sounds familiar…seems to work for both presumptive nominees.
