Why is it that all of the other people who are suffering from cancer or brain tumors never get the headlines of Saint Ted?Because they are not household names. Like it or not, our media culture focuses on those names that we know. Ted Kennedy is known, and so stories about him will generate interest. Stories about brain tumors suffered by Fred Beeblebrox will not. It's that simple. If stories were about the subject matter, and not the person involved, they'd be far more informative, but far less interesting to 90% of the American public.

I might actually care about Mr Beeblebrox. Not Kennedy.
