its like every day i watch the news alot of the time the media s more focused on celebrities like.. dannylyn...i mean,.idnt giv a damn bout the baby.its not special.... and like how theyr ore focused about what a celebrity is doing and eating than care about what s going on in america!!
i mean on alot of advertisements they mostly show noting but adults and kids..it sems like thye do more for asults and could care less about teens and they assume that all teens are stupid. or do stupid things for no reason,or that thry not allowed to do this etc..
couldn they atleast do alittle more for teens instead of having their heads in celebrities asses 24/7??
if the average person died(thye ad no fam e or nothing) they woudnt really care. but if a celbrity dies then its world wirde and is talked about 4 days.wats up with that?

Sad statement to what sells.
Paris Hilton is more well known than the Head of the Joint Chief of Staff!
Do we wonder why so many all over this great planet hate us so!

Stories about celebrities sell all the time. Why? Because people have always been fascinated with their lives and how they cope with fame and fortune.
People are also fascinated with the struggles of celebrities. You can look at it in many ways. One, people can relate better to celebrities if they know these celebrities also feel pain and go through life challenges. People find that life can also be fair because no matter how rich or how poor you may be, you also get brokenhearted, you get sent to jail, you feel misery.
Second, people love celebrities because it offers them a world that they do not live in. In reading about celebrities, ordinary people get to live a life of luxury, fame and fortune, even if it's just from a distance.

News is based on what sells advertising, not what is important (which is rather difficult to discern in any case).
