This is "news?"

27 May 07

Memorial Day

As I watched several "news" programs this Memorial-Day Morning, I heard all about Rosie, Donald, Paris, Pamela, American Idol, et al. This sewage was, as usual, foisted upon us as "headlines," these unimportantpeople who don't matter; nothing they do matters; were talked about endlessly as ten-year-old file footage of some starlets's cleavage ran on and on, while realnews from Iraq and comments upon our brave fallen were consigned to a moment or two, just before the commercial.

News networks, in their lust for ratings, have moved the gossip column to the front page! Hollywood chitchat is now predictably the lead story, with real news pushed to the rear, on those rare occasions where it is mentionedat all. This modern generation of "journalists," ignoring what few of their viewers have a modicum of intelligence, blatantly appeal to the lowest, most depraved, most insignificant, most featherbrained emotions ponderable.

They are a disgrace to their profession! They don't even deserved the title of "journalist." No wonder the rest of the world regards American media news as trivial garbage. It is!
