I tuned in last night to see what the results were for the various primary elections held yesterday around the country. I saw nothing of the kind; CNN was instead airing an hour-long discussion about the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son between Larry King, TRIMSPA CEO Alex Goen, "a top Bahamian police official," and (I'm not kidding) Joanie "Chyna" Laurer. The first thing I heard:
KING: How much weight has she lost?I mean, what the fuck? On an election night, during a WAR, we get a whole hour on Anna Nicole Smith's son, featuring a bunch of peripheral figures? And speculation about how much weight she might gain or lose, the day after her son passed away? And, Supreme Court case notwithstanding, since when was Anna Nicole Smith some major American cultural figure?GOEN: Well, you know, 69-plus pounds but it's quite a bit more than the 69 pounds.
KING: Really?
GOEN: Yes.
KING: And she's so into this that she'll come down quickly after the pregnancy too then?
GOEN: Well, I mean I don't know. You know I'm sure she will, I mean no question about it. She gets incredibly good results with the product but, you know, there's absolutely no guarantees but we're confident that she will.

If you're gonna indict the media for something, screw that "liberal bias" nonsense; this is about a hundred times more loathsome.
