What!?

What has happened to the real news?! I'm watching Nightline on ABC tonight and so far Terry Moran has covered how the media covers Britney Spears too much - the real coup of this report was going to a book store and asking the employee how many covers Spears is on per week. At one point, an interviewee points out how depressing it is that his content (covering Britney) is more viewed than real world news.

Commercial Break

Terry Moran comes back and starts talking about the brassy hip-hop group "Salt N Pepa". I turn off the TV.

Seriously, Terry, there isn't some sort of major crisis that almost caused a war in South America this week that you could spend a couple of minutes talking about; there isn't a war going on in Afghanistan and Iraq; there isn't a major political race happening; there isn't anything else that you could cover?

Good grief.
