News!

I switched on Headline News to catch the headlines. It's something I can't do in the evening anymore. But at least my afternoons were safe... or were they!!?? Not today. No, there's breaking news, such as the fact that some famous person is going to some courthouse in some police car. Yes, they'll even report and repeat the number of that police car.

But whatever. They can cover what they want. What really bugged me was their attempt to explain why everyone cares. "Well, people envy her because she's beautiful and rich... and that's why they like to see her crash." Oh, we're the ones who want to watch it, eh? Then perhaps you can explain who it is that turned over two entire channels to watching her? Was it us? The viewer? No, I think it would be those same folks at CNN trying to explain why other people want to see it.

It's time for a mass walkout at your local national news service!

Watch the NewsHour on PBS! Not a single mention of Miss Hilton, or her legal travails. :)

(Although I will admit to reading a story about her remand into custody on the internet, and laughing.)
