For the answer to why the TV news media goes on these news feeding frenzies, such as Imus presently and Nichole a few weeks back, one only has to pick up a few newspapers and with a bit of patience and vigilance can find the real news gems well hidden and camouflaged.
At first they are hard to find, but as the eyes are trained to spot these bits, you will be well rewarded.
A few prime examples; A state of Illinois senator had the qualifications changed for a high paying position, so that his wife could be hired for it. And our infamous county board president is about to hire his one thousandth friend or relative for a county job. These items were well buried so as to keep the public uninformed.
During this time the price of oil dropped, but without any reasonable explanation the price of gas skyrocketed to THREE dollars a gallon. Our troops are having their tours of duty extended by three months. Meanwhile,National Guard troops here at home are without proper equipment to do their jobs. Stories that should have glaring headlines are buried, so that no one would question them.
So the next time, don't jump on the band wagon no matter the story; but do question as to why we are having it forced down our throats. Then maybe we will know if our veterans are being properly taken care of or, if after just a few head lines, and a bit of paint and plaster the matter was just glossed over. Then when the politicians had their time in front of the camera to show off their indignation, it's back to business as usual.

Precisely and exactly....
There are so many things to hide these days they'll be force-feeding us some new line of crap every other day.
What is so sad, how quickly the story of the year appeared and disappeared. I'm talking about the vetrerans and how they are treated. Congressmen got to show their indegnation on TV, a few photo opts and suddenly it is not news.
