'Brady Bunch' star tells of addiction
That is the title of yesterday's most popular viewed article on CNN's website. Out of all the conflict surrounding our society today, including but not limited to, let's say, the stock market decreasing, the state of economic recession we're in, and the upcoming election... the most popular visited article revolved around another celebrity driven, illegal drug abuse, predictable rise and fall of a has-been actress/singer etc etc...
Why should CNN even bother to cover such a story? Does it have any relevance to solving current situations or addresses issues at hand or even provide insight to anything pertinent and helpful to the public? No, it talks about Maureen McCormick's rehabilitation and "struggle" to fight the 'Marcia Brady' image. Really? Who cares?
CNN is feeding the nation crap. Entertainment news is like Kispy Kreme, filled with fluff and air... you know it's fattening and bad for your cholesterol, yet you still consume it. It's hard to resist when it seems so harmless. But in regards to CNN, it is harmful. CNN should seriously only limit their programming line-up with at most, 10% of Entertainment flippancy and focus the rest 90% on substantial issues. It's detrimental for society to be eating up crap for news. The news needs to penetrate and educate the mass public, not feed it Krispy Kreme.
