As I have detailed many, many times I am a news junkie. I’m signed up on every breaking news email list there is… CNN, ABC News, MSNBC….

And, time and time again, I make fun of that “news” site that masquerades as ABCNews, or as I like to call it, The Advertising Barf Company. I have never seen a news site whore so much advertising before. Not even FoxNews stoops to that level.

Anyhow, I’m getting away from my point. A breaking news email comes in from ABCNews. I had just read on CNN.com about a bomb in Iraq at an Italian police station that killed 22 people. Could that have been the breaking email awaiting me in my inbox?

Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Britney Spears Opens Up to ABCNEWS About Her Music, Her Heart and Her Famous Body Parts.

News is no longer news. It’s entertainment. It’s not about telling us what is going on in the world. They are whoring themselves to the lowest possible denominator they can find, which I think is simple ‘people who are currently awake.” It’s about getting you to see their ads, not about getting you to see what is happening in the world.
