I have to say -- props to MSNBC newsreader Mika Brzezinski for refusing to cover Paris Hilton leaving jail as the top story on the news. The article is
here. It was quite funny -- she tried to set her script alight and everything. It's all over Youtube too!! :lol:
I must say, though, I tend to agree with her. It annoys me sometimes when the most important thing in the news is some spoilt socialite getting publicity for something that isn't in the least bit admirable, the Spice Girl reunion, or some popstars divorce.
Don't get me wrong -- I don't want to censor the news, and as a filler go for it, but when it's deemd as more important than events in Iraq, or bomb blast and other much more serious stuff?? Well that's not right surely?!?!? I know we don't want to hear nothing but 'bad-ness' but why not use it as a boost after the depressing stuff?!?! :huh:
Rant over!! ;)
