I lost all respect for the media a looooong time ago.
Me too, brother. All too often, the truth falls victim to sensationalism. I think this song epitomizes the media today.
"I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry.
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blond who
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry.
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry.
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down."
Don Henley
