1. How is she still newsworthy?
i guess the MSM is running out of white women to gossip about and wring their hands over..

gawd. there's PLENTY of other news out there, but the MSM is too lazy (or too chickenshit) to do actual REPORTING.

3. They're still better than CNN
Their coverage of the Airbus crash in Toronto was far less inane and quite a bit more accurate than CNN's (which had Shark Divebomber, er, Wolf Blitzer covering at the time). :D

5. Now they're talking about George Smith, the guy who was on
his honeymoon and possibly fell overboard while on the cruise. Gawd....so they're including beautiful white men too.

8. The cable networks have lots of time to fill and they
seem to be unable to find anything to talk about during the 24 hours a day they broadcast, except:

shark attacks
missing blonde women
dumb missing brunette women who are also shoplifters and nut cases
the national love affair with our popular young sexy president
the lack of shark attacks
interviews with their fellow network interviewers and prompter readers
hurricanes of today, yesterday, last year, five years ago, and tomorrow
cloned dogs (Lord knows, there's a shortage of dogs these days)
