All the News that doesn't fit

As a kid our media news was the 10 o'clock news for about 15 minutes, then 5 minutes of weather then sports.  Now the media news is constant, 24-7, breaking and stupid.

It may be news that Lance Armstrong cheated by using drugs.  After a month of daily reminders of that fact, it is no longer news, but soap opera.

Someone says that Beyonce did not sing the National Anthem live, but not I don't need to get to the bottom of that story.  Her voice was fantastic.  There is no conspiracy. No Beyonce-gate.  Shut up!

So a college football player is scammed by someone on line.  Why should we wait to find out if Teo is innocent or guilty - OF WHAT?  of the media wasting my time.  Now they are asking if he is fit to play football.

Then there is another sports star who makes a snarky remark about gay football players (or actually "what if?")  He is asks he answers without realizing that anything with the news must be politically correct.   Now they are asking if he should be suspended from plying in the Super Bowl.   

None of us would win this battle if after every day at work, we had a press conference before going home.

I have been around liars and on occasion I have been one.   That will always be news for a short time.

I heard someone say on the news that they refuse to forgive Lance.  Be careful with that thought.
