Joel Stein says comedian
Sacha Baron Cohen (left) has tricked journalists into showing "how much they're willing to compromise to save our dying industry" by interviewing him as his character Borat. "I love that Cohen is using his performance art on journalists themselves, who are willing to e-mail him questions in advance and then print Q&As with a fake character as if it were a real-time interview. I believe journalism should be entertaining. But not in the Stephen Glass/Jayson Blair/Loch Ness monster way." || Related
