There's News And Then There Are Nuisances

Why are all of the major news organizations (CNN, NBC, etc.) covering all of the details of the Paris Hilton saga? Look, if I really want to know what is happening in the lives of irrelevant celebrities (and I don't), I'll read a People, or US or National Enquirer or whatever. Of all of the meaningful events that could be reported on, why are they devoting time to this? Obviously there is some sort of sick national interest in this, but the major news networks are not the appropriate medium to communicate this information and feed this interest. The news editors and journalists need to wake up to this and let the celebrity rags cover what is in their territory to do.

Actually, I consider People Magazine to be the only credible source for celebrity "gossip" (although since it is credible, then I guess that info isn't gossip). Anything else is likely made up.
