Newsworthy???

So as I like to look at all of the headlines on the the various websites I wonder what these different sites determine as newsworthy. I look at www.comcast.net and see the top headlines, the third headline is "Bachelor Jason is getting married." Why is this in the top headlines? Why is this even near the top headlines? Why is bachelor Jason near a headline about a woman in West Virgina lying about torture and a Massachussetts man being held in an attack plot. I am really confused, was there nothing else to report on? There was nothing else that was more newsworthy than Bachelor Jason? Sometimes i just don't understand. Maybe it is a plot by comcast to push the Bachelor series. Well like I say, it always comes to money and who is paying for what.

Dramatization

I was watching Glenn Beck the other day with my parents and he was talking about saying good bye to an old friend to lead into the commercial break. I asked my parents, "who died?" They said they did not know.

So Beck comes back on and is about to do a eulogy for his "old friend," as it turns out this "friend" is school bake sales. I found this to be quite hilarious. Bake sales? Why are we saying good bye to bake sales? Well the answer to that is that it is to fight childhood obesity. So we declare a war on drugs and are losing, have lost or lost it completely, it is a war that we cannot win, just like the fight against obesity, food is just as bad as drugs, people want it and you cannot stop people from eating sweets or cheeseburgers with Krispy Kreme donuts instead of a bun. Now are they not only extinguishing bake sales, they are talking about a sweet tax, which I would group with a sin tax like on cigarettes. My point is the media does make certain issues very dramatic like Beck did with a eulogy to a bake sale, but that just shows that it is not limited to bake sales, they dramatize what the other side does, or makes a politician look worse than they already do. Dramatization lives on as it raises ratings and heart rates!
