What is news? Really.

by Brett

I feel for you, Kelly. But you got more than the attention you deserved on the backs of a crazed populous obsessed by synthetic-reality television and American Idol. Your stunning announcement really isn’t news. And certainly not front-page CNN news. Well ok, it is- but only because Murrow’s Boys and respect for the profession have been forgotten.

Amen. Maybe now we can focus on more important issues like Paris in Jail.

Matt, I’m so relieved to know that someone else shares my opinion on this.

Well Matt and Dave, you’re in good company- OJ Simpson had this to say about the Paris Hilton coverage:

“When Paris Hilton was going to jail last week, more people knew about that than knew that we were sending people into space that day.

“It has replaced what is real news. There was always a place for it, but it was (gossip writer) Rona Barrett. Now it is the equivalent of Edward R. Murrow reporting it today.”
