Adam Curry critiques an NBC news report showing people "dumpster diving" for food in Manhattan, labeling it as staged or "fake" news designed to provide a false sense of balance. He argues that the media is suppressing real stories of looting and starvation while promoting the Red Cross. The hosts express frustration with the "text $10" culture of slacktivism.
