Sensationalism

Over the past week or so, I have been thinking about a number of different topics. All of which, I hope to make some reasoned comments on over the coming days and weeks. However, one topic above all has catapulted right to the top of my list. Sensationalism in the media. If the media was out of control before and they were. Then, I don't know what they are now. When the likes of The National Enquirer are making the news channel circuit, we are in serious trouble. John Edwards extramarital affair is not and should not be headline news. I'm not a John Edwards defender and I certainly don't defend adultery. But, what John Edwards or anyone other quazi-celebrity does in there private life is not a concern of mine. Now, I expect this kind of coverage from The National Enquirer and Star and magazines of that ilk. However, I think that MSNBC, Fox News, CNN and the other "legitimate" news networks have more pertinent issues to cover, than the extramarital affairs of a former senator, vice-presidential candidate and presidential hopeful.

If they need a news story.. why don't they get behind the Flatulent Fuzz for President hype!

Sources close to the Flatulent Fuzz campaign say that the upstart presidential candidate is close to choosing Paris Hilton, as his running mate. The news comes fresh from the release of Hilton's hot new ad touting her energy policy and little else. Fuzz is quoted as saying that "she would positively secure his already firm grip on the moron demographic and boost his numbers among dumb blonde's." Sources say that an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow. Stay tuned!
