Runaway Bride and a Stupid Media

I can't believe they're still reporting on this woman.

I bother looking at the TV for the first time in a week, and I see that idiot "Runaway Bride" Jennifer Wilbanks.

They're reporting on her community service because, you know, apparently someone mowing a lawn is news.

This pointless reporting of stories about nonentities has never ceased to confuse me. It's not even a "Human Interest" story. The woman is not interesting. She's just a dumb rich woman who got cold feet and bolted on her wedding. That is the beginning, middle, and end of that story.

SHE. IS. NOT. NEWS.

Not even by the definition of the word "News." It is not "New" when you report on something constantly. That is called "Beating a dead horse."

It's time to give it up already, Mainstream Media people! Hey, I got an idea! How about you do your fucking job and report on the government? Believe it or not, that is WHY you have Freedom of the Press to begin with: to educate the public on the democratic processes and shine light where it needs to be shined. Not so you can chase around a woman with bad marital judgment.

Of course, you chase her around to avoid doing your real jobs, because most people in the "Mainstream Media" are just a bunch of corporate-political reprobates these days anyway.
