BF2S Forums No More Fox News Threads

People get paid for exclusives all the time.  We should be more concerned that America made Paris Hilton's "tragedy" or Paris Hilton in general something that people want to know about.

Who ran the OJ exclusive?  Who published the book?  Michael Moore is a rich bastard, so is Richard Simmons.  Just wait a little while, crappy people grab headlines daily and unfortunately it's still news.

Of course, tuning out the station and Larry King is a good way to eff up their ratings.

So Paris Hilton got an interview with Larry King....so what?

FOX NEWS is still the most biased news source on the face of the planet next to China's state run Peoples Republic News Corp.  Which, btw, is probably a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch.

The point is, they are rewarding her for drinking and driving.  What kind of message does that send?  So what if they are bias?  Jesus christ so is CNN and MSNBC.  Who gives a shit.  You are smart enough to know it anyway and ignore it right?

They aren't rewarding her, they want to know what she "thinks about 'things' and 'stuff'."  Like she is important or something.  If Larry King hadn't grabbed her first it would have just been Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric or ....god forbid Chris Wallace.

It's a ratings ploy, not a reward.

ABC and NBC tried, but lost out do to PR pressure...or money, depending on what you believe.  She is getting money for it, so she is being rewarded for her stupid and dangerous behavior.  Sure it is ratings for CNN, I know that.

No, she's not being rewarded, CNN is paying to keep her off the other stations, not to reward her for driving drunk.  All the jokedicks who buy the supermarket tabloid magazines and read the celebrity gossip columns will be tuning in for this, especially since it has been covered so thoroughly.

YOU call it a reward because you personally wouldn't pay money to have a conversation with someone recently released from jail, as would I, but it is not a reward.

But yeah, Keith Olbermann is hilarious...

I thought I was the only person who watched that show. Anyone here watch Tucker too? I hate and agree with him @ the same time. Truly amazing.
