The Dumbing Down of America Continues...

I was putzin' around the apartment last night, doing laundry and preparing for a trip to New York this week, and - despite a new Attorney General nominee, the war in Iraq, a presidential election over the horizon, and nameless other important issues - the only story coming out of the talking heads' pie holes on CNN and MSNBC was the arrest of O.J. Simpson. MSNBC even went so far as to show pictures of Simpson's jail cell in Las Vegas ("Breaking News!") and list what he had for lunch AND dinner ("Developing Story!")

Christ, people! This. Is. Not. News.
