"In television, sex sells"

I guess it depends on who's buying. I'm so sick of it I've turned it off altogether. I could care less what Kobe is doing or with whom. In the end, whatever the verdict is on Kobe, it isn't going to make any difference one way or the other beyond the immediate situation. I stay much better informed of the things that really matter right here. Terri's is a story the outcome of which has serious repercussions for all of us.

You're right, of course. But the Kobe Bryant case is being sold to those who live on Hollywood gossip... I suspect they outnumber the civically-minded Freepers, however large we may be in number.

I also avoid much of the tabloid news. I cannot remember the last time I tuned in to watch Rita Cosby or Greta VanSusteren blab about Bryant or the Peterson case.
