This is a headline at CNN.com about a sixteen-year-old girl: "Miley Cyrus spotted 'full-on making out'." I have two media axioms: 1. Every cable channel not explicitly committed to not becoming the E! Channel will at some point become the E! Channel. 2. Every print or online news organ not explicitly committed to not becoming the National Enquirer will eventually become the National Enquirer.

I hear you. That IS really news!

Is the question whether or not we are dumbed down and the news is catering to us accordingly or is the news doing the job of dumbing us down?

And every cute little girl singer pushed on our nations children will eventually become Britanny Spears.

Another example of how investigative journalism in the major media outlets is dead. Sad really.

Dude that is so hot. Where is Horse to comment on this I know he really likes little boys but he may like this too.

The good news is that the NY Times has company in the worthless or manufactured news department.

Horse says he isn't coming back, the truth of being exposed to the real,harsh world was way too much for his narrow,weak shoulders to handle.

If he does have an eye for little boys,he should go to work for Barney Frank.

I think it's weird that they have spent all this time and money on watching teenagers make out. SICK.

"… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses"

--Juvenal Satire 10, AD 77-81

I'm just relieved it's someone around her own age and not someone like Peter O'Toole or Omar Sharif.
