Is This Really News?
Today regular programming was interupted to bring us breaking news. What happened? Was the US attacked? Did another major financial institution declare bankruptcy? Did some notworthy public persona commit some unspeakable crime or at least some significant gaffe?
Truth is none of these events happened. Nope. What as so important was that the President Elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle made their first trip to the White House.
Are you kidding me? This is considered news?
Why I needed to see the President elect and his wife enter the White House in real time is totally beyond me. Why I needed to know that they have a $100,000 budget to redecorate the private quarters and the oval office is also totally beyond me.
With all that is going on in the current environment one would hope that we could actually concentrate on real news. Leave the President elect and his lovely family alone for just a day. I’m sure they would enjoy that as much as I would.
