I always find it weird when people repost this acting as if Dr. Phil wouldn't have been in on the whole situation. It's not like the show was aired live, or that the guy wouldn't have had to been approved to go out on stage dressed like that by likely at least a dozen people, and Phil would definitely have been told in advance. So the guy was allowed to do it by Phil and the staff, and then the episode was edited and allowed to air, all for ratings.

Television is a big show. News too.

Need to get the fairness doctrine back in place and start forcibly putting some integrity back in TV journalism.
