They make us have headline news on TV here at work, and I kid you not, for the past 6 hours that I have been here, the story has been all about Lindsay Lohan. Of all the news, of the whole globe, this is really important?
Now, here is the flip side. When its hours of news about Iraq, Darfur, AIDS, malaria, TB, murder, kidnap, and rape, well that gets depressing quick.
I wonder if the media gets fixated on frivolous stories, because, well its not very heavy, it sells, and we dont have to feel bad about the world, just laugh at Lindsay, shake our heads, and then forget about it, and move on in life.
Anyhow, the news media seems to suck, they dont share anything of value, just sensationalize trivial crap.

The news media is about ratings. And Lindsay Lohan gets better ratings then anything else that is on during the day. Her star power allows them to focus on a serious issue while talking about her.
Some may never live, but the crazy never die.
