The other day, I was complaining that none of the major U.S. television news organizations seemed to care that an American reporter, Steve Centanni, had been abducted in Gaza. Now, I'm complaining that none of the major U.S. television news organizations care about anything, outside of a single, insignificant, ten-year-old murder case.
Yes, yesterday and today, it's been all Jon-Benet, all the time, on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CNBC, and Headline News. Thankfully, nothing else is going on in the world these days. I still have absolutely no idea why we're supposed to care, but I hear it's because she was so darn adorable. 'Cause I'm sure lots of ugly children were killed in 1996 too, but they weren't in beauty pageants, so they don't matter.
