I ask myself, "What is the problem with the television media these days?" Why the fascination with trying to show the American public what they think is important to you and me? Case in point. The coverage of recent Joan Benet alleged murderer, that Karr dude. The media circus reminds me of the Hollywood scene. Mr. Karr has upstaged Brad and Angelina. Is it that the American public does not have time to read the newspapers? Maybe its the instant gratification syndrome that WE are afflicted with. The more I think of this attraction for news hounds to aquire the scoop of the day the more I believe that we have been conditioned to be in tune with all the talking points of the day. We watch TV, listen to the radio and read the papers so that we will be ready to participate at the watering hole. It all boils down to what I think is a craving for recognition, acceptance and self gratification.
