Finish this sentence...I wish the media would shut up about......

(What do you think is being over covered and why?)

[Fau Teixeira]

some dinky cult in gainseville wanting to burn a koran .. who cares really

[BoSoxGrl]

Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan.

[Sunstroke]

I wish the media would shut up about  (insert whatever political drama/scandal is currently in the media cross-hairs)

The Qur'an burnings in Georgia would be a good answer as well...

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

The New Jersey Jets. 

[Dave Gray]

some dinky cult in gainseville wanting to burn a koran .. who cares really

Good call.

Also, the NY Mosque is another non-story, in my opinion.

because it will cause retaliation to American soldiers in the middle east

[bsfins]

I'd have to say some good answers,I'd add Jersey shore people,and Kardashiens (sp?) to the list too....

One of mine,(I've got a feeling Maine might have something to say on this  ) I'd like them to shut up about how fat Americans are....I don't care about another study somewhere about how bad our food is,how fat we are.....

Another quick one...Polls on how I'm supposedly feeling about things right now....I've not taken any polls?

[Dave Gray]

because it will cause retaliation to American soldiers in the middle east

That's just posturing bullcrap, in my opinion.  The only reason that the people in the Middle East will even see it is because the news stations are talking about it 24-7.

The guy is doing this for attention and everyone is giving it to him.

Free speech means protecting the free speech of idiots, too.  The news stations should just let the guy do his thing, ignore it, and report on real news.

Steroids or any other performance enhancing drug.  I really don't give a shit anymore.

[StL FinFan]

anything about anyone who is on a "reality" show

Reggie Bush

Brett Favre

celebrities who think they are politicians

[Dave Gray]

celebrities who think they are politicians

I'm much more bothered by politicians (or pundits) that think they are celebrities: Sharpton, Glenn Beck, Palin, Rush, etc -- stirring up controversy where none would otherwise exist.

[StL FinFan]

Well, that too.  I would add Obama to that list, but that would make me a racist.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Well, that too.  I would add Obama to that list, but that would make me a racist.

No, it wouldn't make you racist (unless your reason for not wanting to hear about him is because of his race), it would, however, make you incredibly ignorant. 

The single most important responsibility of the press is to keep the electorate informed of workings of the government.   Obama is the head of the executive branch and holds the single most important office in our democracy.  Would you like the press to stop reporting on Supreme Court decisions and the working of the congress as well? 

[StL FinFan]

^ Oh, so he needs to go on The Tonight Show and on The View?   I thought he had more important things to do.  Nice trying to bait me by calling me ignorant.  Hey, I think that was a personal attack!  Someone call the mods!
