Communicating is entertaining
No, that is precisely the point. There is a line to be drawn over that continuum (e.g. you don't go to talks, town halls and lectures to be entertained and be kept hooked on cliffhangers). The fact that everyone is competing for attention these days and that communicators have to become entertainers is a different problem. Look at Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman...and Habermas too.
