Was This Reported In The MSM?

[CHNOPS]

Now I should admit, I don't honestly believe this would completely solve the problem. I think we'd STILL get to know more about Kim Kardashian than a lot of people really want to. Like it or not she is news on occasion and given the sheer number of murders in the country each year if you didn't kill at least three people, eat the body or snag a celeb I really don't care. Like I said earlier if we reported every murder in the US we'd just have a show called Murder Inc. I'd love for there to be more in depth coverage of Congress but usually that can wait until the end of the day if not the end of the week. If I actually want to watch the hearings (God only knows why'd I'd want to do that) I could do that but that's pretty fucking boring.

Still getting them free of their advertisers would have to be a step in the right direction.

No way to get past it. Celebrities, by definition, are news. They may not be important news, but by nature of being "local" to each person who hears about them, they're still news.

HOWEVER: if you didn't have to compete for ratings, you might be much freer to lead with non-kardashian-related content, than with Kim's new beach bod or whatever.

You guys might want to check out this little known outfit called the BBC. They've been around for a while now.

No argument here. I just get the impression that a lot of people think magically that if the news wasn't funded by commercials that magically we'd stop talking about Lindsey Lohan or that we'd spend a lot more time being informed of every little thing our government does or that goes on of "relevance" in the world and I don't buy it. Especially after following this place for a number of years and realizing that a lot of the day to day stuff is at best only good for scoring points in debates. Otherwise does it really matter if the stock market ended up this week or the jobs were up this month? Take each of them to the next time measurement and sure they are relevant. Do I really need to know exactly what's being debated word for word in the House or can I just get the high light reel and the results. If I'm not a historian I don't place a great deal of value in the day to day junk.

I hear they're really good at molesting children.

Actually, most of the well known accused have been from the other side.

What's the "other side" in this context? (Honest question. I thought he was on the BBC. No?)

Jimmy Saville was primarily BBC, but there are four or five from ITV that are in the frame.

"BBC: 80 percent fewer child molesters"

Well, let's see what happens when they get to court. Unfortunately, we'll never see Saville in the dock.

I don't think it was carried by the majority of media. If a Christian had killed, beheaded, and cut the hands off a Muslim the Boston bombing would have happened sooner, and Christians would be in the process of being moved to concentration camps in the Eastern Sierra.

In order to keep your racist post streak alive you change your accusation from "it wasn't covered" to "it wasn't covered enough" and then you type some stupid shit.

vette do yourself a favor and see how many articles there are about unemployed, single african-american mothers. You probably won't because you're an old racist piece of shit but just humor me.
