The lunchroom TV has Headline News on, and since yesterday it has been 24×7 on the story of a former football player being indicted for a felony. I saw a promo for four hours of in depth coverage and analysis last night.

Are they serious? This is while congress is trying to vote to reinstate habeas for detainees, an incident with Blackwater security has caused the US military to stop all land travel for non-military us personnel in Iraq. Also, the fed slashed interest rates in an attempt to stop the bleeding in collapse of the housing bubble. And Headline News, the source for “real” news is spending hours on analysis of the stupidest news story in the world.
