What's with that?

While listening to NPR and KKUP, I heard reports about the Koreans that are held hostage in Afghanistan.

While watching the 11:00 news, I watched an insipid story about Hillary Clinton's cleavage.

While perusing Austrailan and British news websites, I read stories about how the Mandaens have been mistreated.

While watching the 11:00 news, I watched another insipid story about a list of the most beautiful people on Capitol Hill.

What's with that? If I wanted that kind of fluff, I'd read the tabloids or watch "tabloid tv."
