Dirty Laundry
Here is the theme song for the TV news coverage of the Lidle crash:
Don Henley, Dirty Laundry, from I Can't Stand Still album "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 Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear Come and whisper in my ear Give us dirty laundry Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em all around We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde 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 You don't really need to find out what's going on You don't really want to know just how far it's gone Just leave well enough alone Eat your dirty laundry Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're stiff Kick 'em all around Dirty little secrets Dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie We love to cut you down to size We love dirty laundry We can do "The Innuendo" We can dance and sing When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing We all know that Crap is King Give us dirty laundry!

Dirty Laundry
If the general public...which includes us...didn't buy into the crap, subscribe to the cable network or watch the stuff, it wouldn't persist. The media is a market-driven and profit-motivated. As such, it becomes a mirror of the public interest. If the public is into hearing about sex scandals, that's what you get. Airplanes flying into buildings? Dead sports stars? So long as FoxNews or CNN or USAmcToday gets America's attention, they're giving America exactly what it wants. No different than McDonald's. Quarter pounders are heart-wrecking junkfood, but you don't see many people outside protesting them. Rather, they line up at the drive-through. Write 'em letters. That's the best thing that you can do. But an airplane with a Yankee pitcher in it flying into a building in New York City will ALWAYS be big news. -c wrote in message ups.com...

Man, I post the lyrics for a great song that sums up sensationalistic journalism, and I get back a white paper from an apologist... hmmm.

news Write 'em letters. That's the best thing that you can do. But an airplane with a Yankee pitcher in it flying into a building in New York City will ALWAYS be big news. Maybe where you live... Down here, another dead Yankee is not that big of a deal...
