What's is wrong with the media

It seems to me that the media companies have forgotten what being newscasters is all about. For the past two weeks I have had no choice but to stop watching or listening to the TV and radio, as all they want to speak about all the celebrities scandals.

Last week every Web site, TV, and radio were portraying the events of the astronaut woman who in a moment of craziness attach another woman for the love of a fellow astronaut. As outrageous as this sounds, worse was the fact that we were told minute by minute by the media through all its mediums as the details, of this poor woman's life, as her life was unraveling.

This week we are now faced with the death of Anna Nicole Smith and the custody and paternity battle that her 4 month child is facing.

The bottom line is that the media is after eyeballs and I take it that they have figured out that scandals attract more eyeballs than important issues. They cover 30 seconds of nuclear weapons, which can bring more death to the masses, and focus the next 10 minutes on the life of a stripper turn celebrity. It must be me, as I just don't see the fascination with crimes and death of celebrities. Further I think that some stuff is rather personal and should be kept private.
