Forced Media Withdrawal Therapy

[goldenearring]

If I were Hillary, I think I would consider having one certain husband kidnapped, and getting him locked away for quite awhile, so that my career could get off the ground without any focus on his antics.  Whaddya think?

He's just not ever going to go away!

Nope, "Former President" Clinton loves the spotlight and will take every opportunity handed to him, and the press just doesn't know when to stop.

I wish they'd BOTH go away.

It kinda makes me sad that this is what the good he did ends up becoming.  And I'm sorry, he DID clean up the economy after the last Bush fiasco. I hope this Bush learns from his father's mistakes.

How's this for antiquated ideas?  I'd like all politicians to go away and only be seen or heard when it's actually politics they're discussing.  Hard topics, not who slept with whom, where so-and-so is eating, or what they're eating, or any other slander, gossip, or trivial information on the politicians.  Are politicians crooked? Yes.  Have they always been?  Basically yes.  Is advertising it all on the news, all the time, making any improvements?  No.  Is it showing our kids the correct way to get ahead in the world?  Definitely not.  So let's quit giving them fame for stupid stuff and focus on the actually political topics.

Disolusioned,



Amen!  Can't agree with that more.  Only problem is, it would put most of the media out of Business, nothing worthwhile to talk about.  But, business is not fun, so they have to find something to chat about I suppose.

It's funny, that you mention that.  I watch a lovely TV show called "Boston Public" about a high school in Boston (duh).  One of the characters has a website that she posts "news" from the school to, and you can actually view it through the Fox website. What she thinks is news is actually just gossip (see, I had a point). I don't think she realizes that and her teachers on this show do not point out the differences to her between news and gossip.



It seems to me that everyone has taken a PR phrase a little too seriously.  You've all heard it.  "Bad publicity is good publicity."  Not in my eyes.  Sorry.  Bad publicity loses my respect. And it should translate to loses my vote.
