The media are thanking the Media Gods and sacrificing their blackberrys for this ongoing flu epidemic story. They sit around in newsrooms praying for the next big thing - an O.J. type car chase, low-flying jets, plane crashes, politicians jumping off ship or ship-to-ship, earthquakes, job losses, bankruptcies, gun fights, celebs off the rails, missing children (sickening), car bombings, Israeli missiles - they love this stuff - they do. They live for it. They make entire sections devoted to it.
Now I'm not immune to this either. I'm not ashamed to admit that I do post commentary OP/ED's here on Liberty Post, but not because I have huge advertising revenue filling my pockets (my new Etsy shop will do that: wink) - but because I have a damn opinion about it all. (usually with regards to human rights issues...I get so steamed) And hell ya, my traffic goes up.

ReplyDeleteI spewed coffee at your serving of fish comment on my post. You funny!
Isn't it all about ratings?
ReplyDeleteHi girl! It's great to visit your blog again. It's been a little while...
ReplyDeleteI *shamefully* just heard about this swine flu yesterday. Strange how that happens when it's such a big deal.
It's hard to know when to jump in with both feat and when to sit on the sidelines, isn't it? I stick to "all in moderation" and usually I don't get in trouble (:
Ps: GREAT picture of you on the side!
