The mainstream media

Megan McCardle at The Atlantic shares her (insightful!) thoughts on why the mainstream media showcase the stories they do...

Which reminds me of one of my most absurd and surreal TV experiences ever: last June I caught a bit of Larry King while I was on the treadmill at the gym. He was interviewing Judge Judy of all people about Paris Hilton's legal woes. OMG who cares!? LOL

And I just did a Google search for Judge Judy images and found this... guess she's taking a page from Paris' book! [Picture removed, I've learned that it was probably a fake.]
