and WHY do we care that the first lady got a burger?!  |
|
 You have to hand it to cnn. One of the stupidest things I have seen on 'breaking news' and the latest! The first lady and staff went to get a burger right along with Joe Biden! Well whoop de doo! If they consider that important enough to report, they ought to report that I am mylotting at the gym. Heh.
Anybody else think the news channels report the most unimportant mundane crap and try to act like its something COOL?

1.  jayrene (1883) | 7 months ago |  OMG i was really laughing out loud at your discussion... nice one... lol
yeah, i agree with you, sometimes the media makes a big thing out of a very small thing. like here, they would put news on pacquiao's mother, what she does, her shopping... then she went to US for the hatton pacquiao fight, they media even reported how she got her passport, what she bought in the US, all those CRAAAAAAAAPPPPSSSS... like many people of Philippines cared. there are other important issues to report, to open our eyes, to make us aware of what is going on in our economy, environment, government, why waste time on reporting those? do we really need to know it?

| mommyboo (3268) | 7 months ago | I just can't help it! And it's not like I'm WATCHING CNN on purpose either, this is one of the 2 channels the tvs at the gym are on. I have a lovely selection of CNN or MSNBC... or ESPN! Obviously it is not someone like me who gets to choose the stations they broadcast! I'd put one on music videos and the other one on the food network - what better than tons of yummy food to make you blast your butt working out? LOL!
I'm just not quite sure why CNN (or anybody really) thinks anything Michelle Obama does is important or reportable. Whatever she does is worth just about as much as the stranger working out next to me... I might know nothing about them, and i don't care. At least they ought to report on something of value, like fires, kidnappings, murders, etc lol.
I'm actually not big on global news because a lot of it doesn't affect me - not in any way that*I* can do anything about it. Why should I know if there's nothing I can do - good or bad - to change, influence, or keep it the same? At least if there's community news reported, chances are I can actually benefit from it, do something to help or go up against it, etc and therefore it is important in the long run. | |

 zzyw87 (683) | 7 months ago |  Yeah, the Philippine media can really be shallow. I do not care a bit for Pacquiao's mother too. Seeing her on TV with all those focus on her is a waste of time. That is why I did not watch it. I had better things to do, like mylotting:)

| mommyboo (3268) | 7 months ago | It's weird isn't it? So many people practically hanging on the activities of a person who not long ago was just as anonymous as you.... | |

| mommyboo (3268) | 7 months ago | No kidding! I sure do hope I don't happen upon someone in this thread who thinks this is somehow REALLY GREAT and I'm a turd for complaining because guess what? If that's important news, then an anvil will drop out of the sky and kill me.
Nope, I'm still here.

3.  Adoniah (2679) | 7 months ago |  Yeah the other day, her husband got a burger and said no ketchup and everyone made a big deal about that. Like now ketchup is going to go out of business because the big "O" doesn't like it. I think I'll go out and buy a bottle right now.

| mommyboo (3268) | 7 months ago | Hehe... yeah, do they honestly think this is stuff anybody needs to know? Those who DO like to know are morons lol. At least have the stuff you want to know about be about your friends or something!

| 4. lilwonders456 (1890) | 7 months ago |  Why is that news worthy? I mean come on. we are in an economic crisis. Bill are flying fast and loose in both the house and congress......and this was the best they could come up with?

| mommyboo (3268) | 7 months ago | They cycled thru it three times while I was watching before I decided to post the dicussion. I just could not believe it was that noteworthy, not even to mention ONCE but THREE TIMES? Someone is really trying to suck up to the president and his family! I wouldn't want media or news people following me around knowing ANYTHING I did in a day, much less that I decided to get a burger for lunch! That's like invasion of privacy and extremely rude.

|
| Adoniah (2679) | 7 months ago | I am still waiting for her to do something news worthy. So far she has worn weird dresses and eaten hamburgers and they have compared her to Jackie O. First off that is an insult to Jackie and secondly she still has done nothing good for the country. Where's the BEEF?
Shalom | |
|
|
| mommyboo (3268) | 7 months ago | I agree. What an insult to Jackie, at least she was a First Lady when people weren't acting like heathens...

| 8. DarthJustice (1277) | 7 months ago | It's sad what the Media thinks we care about. So they went and did something millions of people do every day.
...And we're supposed to care why exactly?
I agree though with that they have a horrible habit of reporting stupid mundane things like this. Let's stick the with the real news, Media. I've agreed with your statement for a long time now actually. I don't give a rat's tail what celebrity is eating what. | |

10.  checapricorn (9932) | 7 months ago |  Hi mommyboo,
I agree with you, they are also ordinary people like us and they better focus on something worth to be reported and to be given an attention....
| |
| |
|
|
| mommyboo (3268) | 7 months ago | It wouldn't be so odd if they reported on EVERYBODY that went to get a burger, but to inflate it to 'newsworthy' because it was one of the Obamas? | |
