Who cares? Is this the only woman doing this at this moment? I don’t think so. This is just another example of “news-make.” Slow days in the news business force networks to make news. I thought the interview answer of one man was spot on, “If she wants to leave her family for another man, it’s her business and nobody else’s.” Exactly.
Why make this frumpy, emotionally retarded bitch the focus of national attention. Are we that interested in her situation? Why must national news organizations play tabloid? Let those interested read about it in the checkout line.
Have you seen this woman? She’s obviously whacked. Look at her eyes; someone’s not home there. And, here boyfriend? Are we sure there’s not a warrant out for this guy? These are ordinary people who now share the spotlight with the President of the United States, International stories of earthquakes, volcanoes and the like. Drop the coverage. Nothing good can possibly come from this story, so why should we be subjected to her post-partum philandering? Who cares? Have a good life, and call us when you find a cure for cancer, or discover a way to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels.
Coverage like this is why we sip our morning coffee and roll our eyes heavenward as we contemplate what the world is coming to. And then change the channel in disgust. Only to find the same story on every morning news(?) channel. Stop it! Give us hard news, not fluff. Tell us something that will better our day, improve our understanding of our lives, or give us hope for the future. Get the camera out of her face and focus it on the guy down the block who has figured out a way to make fuel from his backyard compost heap.
Spare us your forced melodrama.
