I like that, truth in reporting! Now, can you imagine what would happen if advertisers caught on to this idea and actually started selling stuff for which a real need existed instead of creating the feeling that we're all somehow missing something in our lives  (that they just happen to have the solution for)?
It would be revolutionary!
