Angry Rant #21: Who the hell cares??

Over the last few days we were all bombarded with the news that Brian McFadden freaked out - Marge style - on a plane from L.A. to Sydney... and for some reason, which is entirely unknown to me, made the headlines.

(I know what you're saying to yourself right now)

The week before we were bombarded yet again by the news of that idiot cricketer known for that "one" bowl, Shane Warne, and that fling between Liz Hurley.

"...and the reasoning behind this push by media outlets to make this the number one news story in ALL Australia is?", I hear you ask in the background. Well apparently, according to the media, we enjoy that shit. We, apparently, prefer to hear about the escapades of some idiotic cricketer and the equally stupid Brian McFadden.

"No ball" alright you tosser. 

So I've been asking everyone that I see about it. You know the usual, "so what do you think of the top stories for this week, in particular the one regarding that McFadden wanker?" and I keep hearing the same response....

It's something along the lines of - WHO THE FUCK CARES?

When the media thinks that people, like us, want to read it, it's almost as insulting as this guy -

Now that being said, I'm trying to get my head around the mentality that's used by these so called "media outlets" - even the Sydney Morning Herald was reporting on this - and I have been trying to think of a possible reason as to why it is the media thinks that we enjoy hearing about this shit! when it comes down to it, the people that write the news are just as Australian as anyone else here i.e We think everything is bullshit - so why the hell do they think that's ok to write about something that is so pointless and insignificant as this?

Is it the click count on the website? Do they throw provocative images at people with headlines that practically emulate porn? It wouldn't be the first time that ninemsn.com.au, or the dailytelegraph.com.au has done such a thing - you only need to watch ONE episode of Media Watch to figure that out.

One of a few a good journos. 

Or is it because these people are lazy and pathetic excuses for Journalists who are too fucking stupid to think of something that would be worth hearing about? It would definitely be more worthwhile to report on something like this:

It's where those fancy engagement rings come from.

....than sitting outside Shane Warne's house with a camera, reporting on nothing at all...nothing at all...nothing at all...

But I digress.

There are way too many news channels - not that that's a bad thing - but they all have the same stupid views and opinions.

DO NOT believe the lies and spin.
