Not that c-word. I'm talking about controversy.
Have you noticed it's everywhere these days? Between the Cramer v. Stewart ratings ploy, Michael Steele opening his mouth, shady Obama administration officials, that missing Hayleigh girl's dad marrying the 17yo girlfriend/babysitter, the Oprah telling more people how to live their lives, and sexting, I can't find any newsworthy stories anywhere on the internets.
News outlets are becoming more and more about entertainment and less about anything of substance. If you scroll down Fox News Channel, they've got a slew of BS articles that are fit for the supermarket tabloids. I'm not saying I think FNC is a legit news channel (it's not, they hire commentators- not journalists), but if they're trying to spin themselves off as one, they might want to focus on real news. Just a thought.
Maybe this is all part of our political-correctness paranoia. We've all grown accustomed to living in a PC world (unfortunately), and anytime anyone anywhere does something out-of-bounds, it's blown way out of proportion and the c-word is slapped around ad nauseum. It's craziness, I tell you.
