It seems at least once a week I check digg.com and it is full of worthless little tidbits about rocket boots or someone figuring out how to shoot dogs with laser beams or something equally ridiculous and uninformative. The tv news is filled with Paris Hilton stories as well as airlines kicking off girls in short skirts. The other half of the news is filled with people who got murdered.
I never thought I would get to the point where I started believing news media needed some sort of regulation. People watch what entertains them if they have a choice. People need to watch news about Iraq and about the Iraqii people and how they actually used to be three different countries. Hell, when given a choice I would look at some hot chicks rack 10 out of 10 times instead of news about soldiers dying or the history of the middle east, its just natural. I am not sure where this country is going or if news was ever really 'newsworthy'. Where do you think we are going in the future? If the trend is any precedent(sp) then the future holds almost exclusive entertainment related news sigh.
