Oops, Let's Cover Other News

Latest headline "Oops, she did it again.". It appears that Brittney Spears may be expecting her third child (to go along with Kevin and Sean Prseton). The worst part of this is that any of us really give a damn about it. It's one of the headlines on my Comcast news (along with the possibility that Angelina's due date may still be a month away).

Instead of feeding the general public this kind of drivel, I'd like to see the media spend more energy covering stories beyond sound-bites. Like let's see more detailed news on what's going on in the rest of the world. Can you imagine how much news we miss because we spend all our time watching about which celebrity is pregnant, who's divorcing whom, what celeb house is for sale, etc.? Here are some articles that the world needs to know more about rather than this celebrity crap.

1. Report laments 'despicable abuses' of children in Congo.
2. Puerto Rico government may face shutdown.
3. Chernyobl to kill 90,000.
4. UNICEF 'sounds alarm' for Darfur's children.
5. Nepal's king gives up absolute power.
6. Major quake jolts Russian Far East.
7. Oil raises hopes, fears in Belize.

That's just a sprinkling of some major stories that we should be FAR more concerned about rather than Brittney, Angelina, and the nut-job Tom Cruise and baby. See? I was involved enough in the Tom Cruise story to even label him a nut-job! Aaarrggghhhh!
