"Are we watching because we're interested, or because that's what we're being fed? "
"I can see the newsroom frenzy: Let's see, there's the war in Iraq, but that's a downer; nothing's new in New Orleans; and Scooter Libby's trial —what is that all about anyway? Back burner that. We'll go live to Florida. Any video of Anna Nicole's body being moved? "
These quotes are from Nancy Giles' comments on CBS Sunday Morning (click on the link below for the full article). She asks the question -why do we find the life of this person so fascinating? Is it because we are "fed" the story by the media, which considers this a money-maker? Interesting - on google.com, if you typed her name, you would get 35,000,000 hits. If you typed "American soldiers who died in Iraq", you would get 6,400,000 hits.
