I. Don't. Care. About. Christie. Brinkley. Or her divorce. Or her life. Or her 18 properties in the Hamptons that she gets to keep in her divorce settlement. Do you? I have a hunch on the answer...
So why then, is this headline front page news?
"Christie Brinkley settles N.Y. divorce case"Does the mass media realize we have almost 1 million who are homeless each week? 45 million with no health care coverage? Women raped daily in the Congo? An epidemic of children being shot in cities across the country?
And they write articles about CHRISTIE BRINKLEY? Seriously? WTF?

I'm with you. I can't stand it. I vote with my wallet on this one and don't pay for mass media; I get the NYT headlines (and topics of my choosing) emailed to me for free and don't pay for newspapers, nor do I watch TV news EVER because it is stupid. And I only know this is still true because I see it on at the gym. Yup - still awful and lame! If Americans stopped gobbling this crap up, the media might stop handing it out.
Too true, Jordan. I was disappointed to see even some of my offbeat online newspapers covering it so avidly. I buy the Chicago Tribune every Sunday, but that is it. And that is mostly for the coupons! :)
