Paris Hilton went to jail today or yesterday or whatever. I know this because it is ubiquitously mentioned on every channel, "reputable" media included. Pundits report on the issue then hypocritically in the same sentence lament that such a story is being covered out of proportion to its actual significance. I believe they feel that adding that second parts gives them street cred.
Or are they playing both sides? Say what everyone else is saying to get it in then whine-whine-blah-blah-our-celebrity-obsessed-culture, regardless of the fact that they are contributing to the hype. "Hello, I'm reporting on Paris/Anna Nicole/Britney's hair/_____...now, I'm complaining about the coverage of _____." It's so scripted. I would often eat dinner during the 7:00 hour and hoping to flip on Headline News to get some news headlines Glenn Beck's fat head it often saying: "Hey, isn't it a shame all the coverage _____ is getting? What is happening to our country? [Well, I'm going to talk more about it]...joining me now is [so-and-so to talk more about it]..." This is one of the reasons I cancelled cable. Even CNN sucks now.
Also and anyway, Paris Hilton is not even that pretty, anyway. What's her appeal?
