You are correct that there are other wastes of time and that this is a capitalist society. However, isn't it still true that more coverage of other obviously important issues ---such as clarification of the oil issue in Alaska, severe anti-semitism in Europe, and US government waste --- would benefit us all?

Sure but what media do you think is going to do that? None that Im aware of.

Squeeze the Dems and their issues even further off the radar screen. Daschle and Gephardt must really being having a fit now knowing their 4% of the news is going to get even smaller. Pretty soon the only places you will be able to see their faces is C-Span and at signing ceremonies at the White House, assuming they allow bills to come for a vote.

I had just emailed FOX to complain about all the coverage of the Blake story when I found your post. Maybe if we ALL remind them that we really would rather watch REAL news?

I agree; but in a society that is determined by its leaders to control rather than create an atmosphere of thinking; what can you expect?
