Is that during the National Anthem?

If so, why don’t the “stars” have hands over their hearts?

She didn’t have to be childless. But I will refrain from anything further because it would insult sailors.

Maybe they are deleting your posts because you seem to be posting them for incoherent reasons.

I’m no Dowd fan but this column has nothing to do with her personal life.

You comment just makes you sound a tad creepy.

And what the hell is wrong with being a childless spinster?

Idiot.

Dowd-y is about 20 years too late with this piece. The satirical nightmare Paddy Chayevsky created in Network has come to pass several times over already.

In 1976, “daytime talk show” meant folks like Dinah Shore and Mike Douglas doing real interviews with normal guest. By the late 80s/early 90s, it meant Geraldo Rivera and Jerry Springer giving airtime to transvestite nazis and the hermaphroditic women who love them.

I can’t even imagine an amateur porn star (and that’s all she is) like Kardashian getting a network tv series back then. In today’s environs, she’s had nearly a decade of fame and millions of bucks. Paddy’s tongue-in-cheek reality show featuring an Angela Davis-like star seems almost sensible by comparison.

What an odd column by her. I didn’t see any whining, feminist promoting or other leftist advancing drivel.

(But then it is early, maybe I missed it)

Ahem. From the article:

What would Paddy say about the Murdochization of the news, where a network slants its perspective because it sells and sells big?
