Smoke and Mirrors

TMI. Now they're calling it "Tigergate"? Who the f*** cares... a black guy banging a bunch of white chicks... nothing new there... or worthy of all the news time it's getting. :P

Meanwhile little to no news on more important issues like about all the additional troops they're sending to war. Coincidence? I think not.

As with 90% of "entertainment" stories, I just ignore it. I don't give a fuck about who some golfer sticks his dick in.

Frankly, it amazes me that anyone DOES care. The only attention I pay is to the jokes, and then only if they're clever and funny.

I do ignore them. My point is that this crap pushes the important news out of the public eye and people forget about it in light of stuff like this. Obama announced the troop scale up and this crud pushed that more important story out of the news.... NOT by accident either. Our so called 'free' press really isn't so free as a lot of people think.

I don't think that's deliberate censorship, more people's lack of interest in what's really going on in the world. Not that that's much better, mind you.

Some of the important ones just aren't there. It's not that the Woods BS pushed it out of the lead... they're not in the news at all. Mom watches the news all the time, CNN mostly, and there's been virtually no coverage of the new troop deployments and the escalation of the war.
