Gore’s an idiot, but I agree with everything he says. The fact is with 24 hour news, cable needs material to fill air time, so they use trailer trash stories. And the sheeple lap it up. This is why Fox has national breaking news stories of a car accident in Georgia. But we’re in a freemarket economy. If cable sells and the people buy, what can one do?
He is right about the vacuous obsession with celebrity. But it seems it has been going on since the early days of Hollywood. I can't think of one H'wood celeb that I would walk across the street to meet. In the grocery check-out line, most people on the covers of tabloid mags I have never heard of.
