People are missing the underlying danger here. Lebron + Lohan = no BP news. |

1. They stopped covering BP a while ago |
|
Many people are thinking the hole has been plugged.

4. BP news means no Afghanistan news. Afghanistan means no Iraq news. |
|
Iraq news means no unemployment benefits news. Unemployment benefits news means no marriage rights news.
So, no news is good news. The media is just trying to perform a service, see?

10. Lohan + Lebron = None of those things |
|
While those things all matter. Lohan and Lebron are trival bullshit.

11. Then why are you talking about them, if they are trivial bullshit? |
|
I didn't mention them. You did. The OP did. Why?

13. Because the media is fawning over them instead of giving us information that matters |
|
Instead of treating it like the trivial bullshit it is.

5. And the oil story was to derail the financial regulation story. |

So shouldn't that be back in the news, they are trying to see if celebrity news can work, not terror news.
Personally the financial sector has some 'splainnen to do. And blowing up oil riggs does not change that.

6. I've heard BP news today |
|
They are getting ready to put the replacement cap back over the well to capture some of the oil while waiting for the relief wells to be completed. They plan to have the relief wells done ahead of schedule and some are saying it's because they want to complete before the quarter profit reports are announced.

7. Oh good, I hope they rush it and risk mistakes in the name of profit! |
|
BP has backed off their best case scenario date after Allen said he was still looking at mid-August.

8. 24-7 wealthy Narcissists, but we are not allowed to know about the Gulf |
|
with one of the worst man made tragedies this country has ever had to deal with. Proof the news we get is picked discriminatingly to cover asses while distracting people with over-dramatic meaningless garbage.

14. Okay, I know who Lebron |
|
and Lohan are, but I pretty much don't watch or read any media that covers those two. Other than Keith Olbermann, which is the only reason I actually know who Lebron is. Did he have that news conference or whatever it was supposed to be?
I listen to the BBC and Amy Goodman and Keith Olbermann. I miss most of the crap, and I have a decent idea of what's happening in the world that matters.

Celebrity gossip is all over the tv and radio here in LA and sometimes it's damn near impossible to avoid.
