Times are a-changin'. And the fact is that the important areas of journalism have been over emphasized and over expanded with the preference of gossip and other things that appeal. Fools like celebs become icons for no solid reason other than their lives are interesting. It's taken a new form: a distraction from what may actually affect us. That's not journalism. Because a reporter should be one who ultimately achieves the truth and displays it in any way s/he pleases.
As long as it's legit.
There is no quest for truth in this bullshit you turn on E! News, most of that we already know. But, like soap operas, what happens next is whats on everyone's mind. I blame this on the rise of stupid people but applaud the tabloids for their money-making formula. I think the people that don't realize that kind of media is a distraction as they feed into it are the people who keep this media alive with their consistent purchase and attention. Like I said, rise of the idiots.
