...”the press is wasting resources on this crap.”


More than wasting resources, they are humiliating themselves, yet again.

Back in the day, there were respected journalists, then their were the “rags,’ the “rumor mongers,” the “yellow journalists.” A person knew who was which. Now, they all present the same.

All of them wallowing in the dung heap grasping at whatever minutiae they can fling like chimpanzees throw their feces.

Repulsive and intriguing at the same time.

By the way, when I started my student teaching I was all of 5 foot. If I stretched. That with a fine boned face and tiny hands and feet led the school lunch lady to think I was one of the students in the lunch line.

She kept trying to give me back change for a student lunch when I was trying to buy the faculty lunch. It was a 5th grade line and some of them were already taller than me. Mistaken for a child!

Oh the humanity! (Heavy sarcasm)

In defense of the press, this “news” originally appeared in People Magazine. That’s not exactly a hard news outlet.
