May I ask a silly Question?

[AsahinaKimi]

Why is MSM so focused on CHARLIE SHEEN? WITH all thats all thats newsworthy in the world, why does this matter?

[flvegan]

1. Because he's #winning.

Or something. I don't know.

[Shagbark Hickory]

2. That's not a silly question. I wish I knew the answer. It was because of that and the oscars I quit

watching.

[Hugabear]

3. Because Lindsey Lohan and Miley Cyrus are yesterday's news

It's just the celebrity du jour. America has an infatuation with its celebrities.

4. It matters exactly because there is so much that is newsworthy.

[AsahinaKimi]

5. So you are saying CHARLIE SHEEN is the new Balloonboy?

mmkay...

[tekisui]

6. Yessiree. He is the new shiny thing.

[Boswell]

7. the studio loves it

now they can let "Charlie" have an off-screen heart attack or something and move to the Berta spin-off with a big sympathy boost

8. And you know we're bored with anything Palin has to comment on...

[FarLeftRage]

9. Mainly because he's a distraction...

The m$m doesn't want to cover real, news worthy issues.

It is what their corpoRATe owners want.

[Fuzz]

10. Obviously it's because his mom fucked a tiger.

[boppers]

18. This guy?

[Tunkamerica]

11. Same reason you are

[Imagevision]

12. Charlie next acting move should be interesting, 2 million an episode?! that's tough to beat!

[PDJane]

13. Well, gee............look! Over there!

Mass distraction.

[madmax]

15. We think alike. ;) nt

[madmax]

14. Distraction

DWTS, Realtiy TV, American Idol, video games, etc. Numb the minds, thow in a little chaos like unemployment, rising oil prices - keep the peasants chasing their tails just to stay alive and while they're busy doing that -the masters of the universe do whatever the hell they want.

16. Why do people slow down to look at a car accident?

You answer my question and I will answer yours.



(Hint: The answers are very similar)

[Cleita]

17. We haven't had a blond girl murdered in awhile

or a politician caught with his pants down. The MSM is getting nervous. They may have to report real news. He'll do in the lurch.

[Incitatus]

19. What do you expect, the MSM to report real news? nt

[Scuba]

20. It's called a "diversion".
