Obey had to get this little cheap shot in though, comparing Rush to Hilton. Can’t face the cold fact that nobody wants to hear liberal vomit on the airwaves.
It's a perfectly natural human reaction to notice a pretty face, and to point a camera at it if you've got one. IOW, Paris Hilton's face interests the public.
But that hardly qualifies photographs of her face to be a matter which affects the public interest. The point, surely, is that no matter how "objectively journalists follow the rules which tell them that pictures of Paris Hilton interest the public, those pictures will shed no light on what government policies may be wise - may be in the public interest.
The so-called "objectivity" with which journalists attract public attention is irrelevant to any question touching the First Amendment rights of the people - or any other matter of public policy.
