My question to you is where have you been? Do you live in the sticks someplace where they dont have concerts. If there is a major concert taking place it is treated by the media akin to President of the US visiting their fair city. Why? Because the event is a big deal. Thousands of people are attending and their parents and friends are impacted by the concert as well. Then there are the people who wanted to go but couldnt get tickets or would feel out of place. So the media knows this stuff sells.

As far as Britney goes, she does look like a slut but I will admit she looked pretty hot on Thanksgiving day when she performed for the troops. If you teach your kids well from a young age, they will know better and if they do get side tracked, it will be a temporary thing. If you cant deal with your own kids, dont worry about someone else's.

Pretty humorous article. Sums up why I quit watching local news 15 years ago.

And Dave, I trust you were directing your comments to S. Lo (too funny) as he, not randita, was the author...;-)

My question to you is where have you been?

I assume your question is rhetorical as I personally don't live in the sticks. I live in the heavily populated NE corridor.

I guess if you expect TV news to be no more than celebrity watches, the newscast described by the author will satisfy you.

If you expect TV news to be a tool for informing us about weighty, current events, you will be sorely disappointed--as I have been, for years.
