Monkey Tennis

"Reporters, much like politicians, like to feel they are helping to make history, and get excited by subjects they knew nothing about until last Wednesday." Peter Hitchens

If you're not familiar with the concept of monkey tennis, see here for an explanation. I use the term to refer to any pointless but entertaining exchange between two people (such as a typical 'two-way' between a TV news presenter and a reporter in the field), or a pointless but entertaining contest between two opponents (for example all Scottish football).
