Finally after, I don’t know how many, weeks The news story of Conan, Leno, and NBC is wrapping up.
I’m not going to go into whose fault I think it is, but instead will point out how big this story is. The media was obsessed with this story. Well, not to the point of Michael Jackson, but it was everywhere. Long story short, the ratining were bad for both shows, however on Martin Luther King Day, in three different cities, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, people crowded around whatever place they crowded to support conan.
I fail to see how this is important. If the people didn’t want Conan to go, they should have just watched the show. Instead they rally for no reason at all. Zero. Nothing came out from those rallys. Conan’s show is still ending but he’s still getting paid $32 million dollars, for doing nothing.
I feel a vast majority of the American population is more concerned about entertainment news and worry less about important news like Scott Brown, politician who won Kenendy’s seat in the Senate and, more importantly, the 41st “vote against Democrats’ health care bill, the magic number required to kill it or anything else on Obama’s agenda in Congress.”
I don’t watch the news or tv for that matter but in what I do see I’ve seen coverage of Leno and Conan a lot more than I should have. Whoever controls the media now isn’t informing us the way we need to be. It’s just my opinion, Scott Brown and Health care is much more important.
Hopefully, this story will reach more light and the bill will be scrapped so both sides can begin anew, starting with all the provisions they agree on first,passing those, then moving on.
To further my point, the headline to the Scott Brown story is
“GOP’s 41st senator gets movie star’s greeting.”
people value entertainment news more than news that actually concerns them.
