This year media just roam around something boring stories and repeatedly telecast those series as there is no other news to telecast. I thing they just thing that this will attract readers or viewers . But at the year they got a spicy tale in the form of Tiger woods. <a href="http://www.vitabits.co.uk/skin-health/selenium-200mcg-plus-vitamin-a-c--e/16279" rel="nofollow">selenium</a> Yeah i agree with Blublogger.

Mainly because it’s easier than reporting out, and attracting readers to, big questions of politics and public policy. Joan Walsh from Salon made the above statement. I believe it says it all about the "media" in this day and age. Look I know the media has a lot of time to fill with 24/7 news stations and blogs but some of the "crap" they focus on is just stupid. I would love it if the media and pundits did a better job of holding commenters feet to the fire. Few due that. Doesn['t matter what network they work for. I keep waiting for someone to ask the question I have during those "easy" interviews. Dylan Ratigan is one who pushes but somehow he comes across as a fanatic.
