Are mind control devices being tested on TV hosts?

Are U.S. government microwave mind-control tests causing TV presenters' brains to melt down?

The ability to use microwaves to cause human beings to hear things inside their heads was established as a real phenomenon in the 1970s.  Has that technology progressed over the last few decades to allow for remote mind control?  I did find a somewhat disturbing patent while doing a little research:  Apparatus and method for remotely monitoring and altering brain waves.

I can't say if devices similar to that are being used to mess with TV presenters but it seems that the concept is not that fantastical.  Conspiracy theorists and people that claim to be survivors of mind control have been saying that the government has mind control capabilities for years.  MKULTRA is perhaps the best known program set up to explore the possibility of mind control.  Project Monarch is alleged to be a program within MKULTRA.

I think that the possibility of mind control has to be considered, but more interesting to me is why this technology would be focused on TV personalities.  Perhaps it's being tested for field operation on live television?  What purpose could the government have for such a capability?  I think it would be useful for a government to have absolute control over TV hosts and newscasters or, barring that, have the ability to cut their reports or presentations short.  This would be censorship and control on a level that has never been seen before.
