lord this is irrelevant. i'm too young to know, but was there ever a time when news sources such as newspapers and tv actually had a thing called news in them? was there a time when not every story had to be about celebrities, or in this case, adopted daughters of former celebrities?

was there a time when tv news didn't have to ensure every story was somehow related to the target market? 50,000 people can die in a natural disaster, but unless an autralian is involved it will barely make the evening news, being bumped by which football player got drunk at a nightclub over the weekend.

was there a time when newspapers reported news without putting a spin on it, depending on political allegiance: recent g20 protests in melbourne- the age, lefty paper: "peaceful protest marred by a few extremists, example of democracy in action"; the herald sun, owned by murdoch, right-leaning/populist view: "thugs! criminals! all protesters are naive students (wasting the tax payers dollars!) or immigrants!"

typically student rhetoric, i know. and already i'm looking forward to the soup's comments on nicole. so i can't really claim any moral supremacy.
