508: Lonely Crazies
Chelsea Clinton, Geico Gecko and Media Corruption
NBC's *Rock Center with Brian Williams* is criticized for a segment featuring Chelsea Clinton interviewing the Geico Gecko. The hosts argue that this "shameless plug" for the insurance mascot's new book represents the total corruption of news media, where advertisements are presented as editorial content. This is compared to recent long-form promotional segments for Taco Bell on other networks.
