Default The news is devolving daily into a more serious version

of Entertainment Tonight. Why is this Rosie vs Trump feud news? Why is it the leading story on the Today show this am? Why does Britney Spears wearing or not wearing underwear to the club dominate all major news outlets? Why should I even know who Nicole Richie is? It's insane. As each year passes, real news fades more and more into the background. I'm guessing it's the route to better ratings, but please can we have ONE media outlet that ignores these stories?

I hear the BBC usually sticks to news.

as snipe would want you to believe--The liberal media wants you to love and care for Hollywood. It is all a big ploy by the liberal media.

In reality, people want to be entertained not so much informed. It is why people like Bill OReilly, Shawn Hannity and others (any of the far left commentors) have such a huge audience...they are entertaining and they give little info on the actual news but they are loud and abrasive and annoying.

His beloved FOX network is among the worst of perpetrators when it comes to this stuff.
