I get that what’s reported in US Media is determined to a large degree by public interest. When you can’t tell the difference in the quality of content produced between a blog ran by an individual and a news organization backed by the power of a corporate conglomerate, I think you need to start paying attention. It’s pathetic really. Blogs are edgy. People are paying more attention to blogs. So ooh, let’s mimic their content so that people will like us too. Or maybe it’s not even that deep and this is simply the level of content that their staff is capable of producing. But I tend to think it is. The homogenization of our media for the sake of profitibality has simply gotten out of hand. Instead of being innovative and a hallmark in their industry, this media powerhouse is just following the trend. Is this truly what the level of our nation’s discourse has become? Our major media outlets want to be synonymous with gossip and celebrity worship. Pathetic.
