Protect Us From Another Celebrity Death and Network Management

The world is reeling from political upheaval, economic meltdown and environmental catastrophe.

What does the national media focus on for two weeks?  The high drama of a controversial musical artist who has the audacity of dying.  News that effects each and every person on this planet is buried under hype and circumstance.

People are starving, people are being caught up in conflicts beyond their control.  People are trying to adapt to a more environmental and economical lifestyle.  Celebrity nonsense is the stuff of blogs and checkout rags, not the national media that employs “high quality” journalists.  Unemployed journalists are a dime a dozen right now.   The choice to focus national media on celebrity hype is network management.

SHAME ON YOU!
