The Open Championship, lol. Of course, ESPN is covering it, so I can't put it past Mike Tirico to start discussing it while stationed in Scotland.
OMG, how is this for irony. On a business channel, you have Maria Bartiromo interviewing Charles Barkley about Treyvon Martin. LOL http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...zimmerman_trial_i_agree_with_the_verdict.html
What people say, and what they click on, have been demonstrated to often diverge. When the clicks stop coming, when the pages are no longer ranked "most popular" or "trending", the coverage will stop. It's the same business it always was, only faster. Edit: and by the way, I sympathize, I rarely watch TV news for this and other reasons.
The left owns damn ever every media outlet and they have an agenda to push, so they push it. What few channels the right has will respond simply because they must counter the utter bullshit coming out of the left in order to maintain any credibility themselves. Consequently, we see "Baby Tray" day in and day out. The thousands of young blacks being gunned down by their own all day every day doesn't fit the agenda, so it goes on as if nothing happens. The leftist agenda on race relations is, Jim Crow was just last week, whitey is to blame for everything. The question you'll never hear asked or addressed is how in the world did young black men of the 40's, 50's and 60's make better choices for themselves and their families than young black men of today will make, even though they suffered blatant discrimination, in your face racism, and very limited opportunity much more so than the black man of today has to face. The answer is ugly, and is just too much for the left to deal with.
Fox is starting a sports channel, so there may be some hope. The Speed channel is politics free. As for ESPN, forget them. They're actually bringing back that asshole Keith Olberman. Maybe they just want to make fun of a mentally ill man, who knows, after the way he left there years ago. With these big networks however, if you are a leftwinger, there will always be a job for you, particularly if you claim to be gay. How else can Ellen Degeneris stay employed? or those harpies on The View? I wish CNN would start a show with Olberman and Nancy Grace. Call it Two Crazy Wackjobs or something like that. It would be fun to watch them humiliate themselves every night. At least if the TV thing doesn't work out for Nancy Grace, she knows there will always be a job for her in Angela Corey's office railroading innocent people.
The media is selling a product? I thought they were supposed to be reporting the news. Did you really put me back on ignore, Ricter?
Media is no different than politics. There is an illusion of choice, but in reality it's all pretty much the same thing being sold. If every grocery store decides to start selling nothing but canned spam, at some point you'll develop a taste for canned spam. You may even learn to like it.
That's the way it used to be (30+ years ago). Now it's all about "spin" from the liberal news media. Note how quiet it's been with regards to all of the administration's scandals....IRS, NSA, etc. The Zimmerman trial gave Obama a reprieve.
