Say What?

What in the world has happened to mainstream media?

C frickin NN has followed this crazy Miss America/ Perez Hilton saga as if it were actually valid!

First of all, when did Perez Hilton become the voice of all things that should or should not be?

How, with his background, did America decide "He should be the one to call Miss America contestants out"?

I can not believe that he has parlayed his gossip blog into a celebrity status! I mean, his blog is pretty much the updated version of the Enquirer and we don't see the editor of THAT fine publication serving as a spokesperson.


Even more, why would anyone even CARE if some girl says she doesn't support gay marriage? I mean, it's not like she has any HOPE of becoming a member of congress... shouldn't she, as well as all of us, be able to express a personal opinion?

It's certainly not like she is anti-gay... She's a pageant queen for goodness sakes! She knows that she needs the 'mos ion her quest for the crown? I mean, who do you think did her hair and makeup? Who helped her decide what to wear? If she did it on her own, she would have been up there in some cutoff shorts, wearing a "Girls Gone Wild " half shirt with her hair up in a scrunchy. How do I know that? Because in the real world, that's all hot girls have to do to get guys to notice them.

Another concern I have is that TMZ has become a source for some mainstream media!

I nearly fell over when the whole Rhianna story broke and Diane Sawyer showed pictures of Rhianna's battered face which were credited to TMZ!

Have you ever watched TMZ? It's hilarious!

It's as though we've all been "let in" on their "editorial meeting".

There's a 40-50 year old man getting ideas from kids who look like they just happened to be at band camp when they stumbled onto a bit of gossip.

The last time I watched it, there was a blond kid on there who looked like Louie Spicolli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High!

The popularity of THESE types of people have even lead CNN to create shows which have no true merit or viewer benefit.

I used to like Nancy Grace... but now, she is just horrible.

I don't care about the "Tot Mom"!

Nancy has made a career out of exposing the dark secrets in ordinary people's lives.... Yes, the tot mom is fair game, but her family?

Can you imagine being the grandfather of that child and having to hear the sordid details of your daughter's life and granddaughter's death being broadcast on national TV everyday? Knowing you couldn't object or write a letter of complaint because it would then be read and posted on Nancy Grace's Website?

Nancy is doing to regular people what TMZ is doing to celebrities!

With her background as a Judge, which she wears like a broach for all to see, you'd think she'd realize that she is destroying ANY of her subjects' chances of a fair trial.... all so she can lure in a few more people who want to know all they can about this case.

There is a difference in transparency and propaganda in the legal system. For ALL our sakes, I hope that remains true!

But every time we tune in to these shows, we agree that this is how society should be!

Look at how this thinking has changed the media, just since 9-11!

I LONG for the days when the evening news actually offers stories about actual events that are occurring around me... such as the war in the middle east... or crazy weather patterns.

Do I really need Charles Gibson to tell me about Madonna's divorce?
