No News is Good News
I've been on a geek-out on Star Wars literature these past couple of weeks, plus the Youth Camp, plus just a general anti-social haze has just descended upon me as it infrequently does... and I stop reading the newspaper. I already supplement the local paper with other (equally bigoted, but hey, you can't have everything) news from BBC and CNN, and occasionally the NYT (which has excellent analyses and commentaries), but I've just been too bummed out that I can't be bothered.
Today, I woke up, and I felt bothered. Enough to grab today's papers and take a look at the front page to see if there was anything interesting enough to induce me to open the thick stack to venture further into the depths of utter, useless, blatant propaganda profundity.
More children who move out keep in contact with their parents? Mein gott. Please. Put NEWS on the front page of the papers, not the family AND the extended family of a staff writer from Life! section. It must have been a really, really, REALLY slow news day to reduce TST to putting Edward Choy's extended family on the front cover. Not he's a bad writer, but oh come on! Surely there was something, anything, better than reducing your print coverage to writing about YOUR OWN FAMILIES!
The extent to which this incident is bugging me out is astonishing.
