I avoid the news, by choice and by chance. My hours and daily habits are set that it’s so easy to not catch anything going on in the world. Works out fine for me because on the rare occasion I do glance at something news related, I’m often nauseated by the subject matter.
Today, for example, I see the front page of the Daily News. Yeah, it’s pretty upsetting that George Bush is pardoning Libby’s sentence. The most upsetting part about that front page though? That would be how the Bush story is 2/3 of the page, and the other third is Paris Hilton in Hawaii. How is this news?
This complaint is nothing new really. We all have been thinking this since we were old enough to really grasp news, but why has the news been so ****ty for so long? How does it keep thriving in this manner? Why have we not done anything about it? So many stories going on all over the world, plenty of stories in the United States, and the only thing we can find to pair up with the Bush story is Post-Prison Paris on a surf board? Lame.
