Paris Hilton is Famous Because of the Media
|
08 June 2007
(whisperDISPATCH) - No one in the media should EVER ask why Paris
Hilton is famous.
I've been checking the cable news channels off an on throughout the day and they have been showing wall-to-wall Paris Hilton coverage.
The media are covering the
"latest" {tag Paris Hilton} news as if she just confessed to being a serial killer and is
about to turn herself in! It's absolutely ridiculous!
Many of these stations have on-
air hosts who have made smart-ass remarks questioning everything from 'why is Paris Hilton
famous' and 'why do people care about her', to 'what has she done to get
attention'.
Any member of the media who wants to know why Paris Hilton is famous
should walk over to a mirror and stare right into it.
Just as I'm typing this report,
I look over and see video of photographers and camera men chasing a {tag police car} with Paris Hilton
in it down the street! I mean, come on!
{tag MSNBC} seems to be particularly fixated on
this story. And just as I'm typing this up, host Contessa Brewer just asked 'why' people
are tuning in to the broadcast. Ha!
{mosgoogle left}If another person who likes to watch
MSNBC is watching the media created frenzy, they're watching because that's the only damn
thing MSNBC is showing.
I'm flipping between {tag Fox}, {tag CNN}, and MSNBC because I'm
blogging about {tag media coverage}.
Personally, I think it's ridiculous that Hilton
even got 23 days.
Many people don't serve that kind of time for what Hilton is alleged
to have done. But somebody wanted to pull rank and teach her a lesson. Thus, we find ourselves trapped
inside a wall of Hilton coverage.
As if on queue, MSNBC cuts to the AOL/Time Warner owned
TMZ.com's front page which is showing a {tag crying} Paris Hilton in the back of a police car in
handcuffs.
I flip over to CNN and "Hilton in Court" is the headline while
they're showing the outside of the courthouse. Though, they've now moved onto another
story.
FOX is covering both the Mary Winkler court hearing and the Paris Hilton story.
"Is she going to {tag jail}? Is she going back home?" the host asks. They're waiting on
the details.
And back to MSNBC: "Are we addicted to celebrity news?" host
Contessa Brewer asks. She's talking to a shrink who calls it a "soft addiction" to
celebrity. Yeah, no kidding.
I'll say it again: THIS is why Paris Hilton is famous.
Nobody put a gun to any member of the media's heads and forced them to cover anything
related to Paris Hilton.
If they are going to report on her every move, they should spare
us all the whiny and hypocritical complaints about why she's
famous.
