I am sorry, but I am all Poped out

Coming from someone is has never been Catholic and is not even religious, I am ready to hear other stories on the news that do not involve The Vatican.

You're entitled to your opinion.
But some "good" news beats anything in the second post (which I hope was sarcastic)

Well, I have to admit, I find it interesting if a high bit overly drawn out.
I say more exposes on the secret life of Endora!

It's this obsession with 24/7 coverage of important news. Why do they have to saturate the media. Yes, it's important. Make the announcement that there was white smoke, show the square, and the move on until some real news happens. We seem to do that with everything... tragedies (9/11, Columbine, Princess Di) to scandalous (OJ, Peterson). More balance is what we need so we don't OD.

edit... thanks Rose...

I have to agree, stop showing the doors and saying I wonder who the Pope will be. Just cut back when something actually happens.
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

So, put a CD or DVD on.
I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2.

sherman--you are such a party poper!!

Listen--would it be too much trouble if the cable news channels actually covered ALL the news and not just one item a day? I mean, they do have 24 HOURS to fill. It doesn't matter what the topic is--they need to cover more of the world events.

It's either scandal, the Pope, or White House propaganda! Sheesh!

Aah, you took my point, jrb.

There's a whole wide world out there, with many events of significance occurring in it every day. The selection of a new Pope is important, yes, but it isn't the only thing happening. And anyone who's watched a story unfold on a 24-hour news channel knows that they don't mind repeating and repeating and repeating the same information on a story over and over.

Look at all the non-Pope things that are happening now- Bolton's confirmation hearings, DeLay slamming Justice Kennedy, Ameritrade losing a ton of people's personal data, an obelisk looted by Italy returning to Ethiopia, Adolfo Scilingo being convicted of war crimes, an earthquake in Japan...

I find all of those things at least as interesting as the papal conclave. But that's just me.

Maybe the solution is to branch out in your news sources. I know for a fact that the headline on www.commondreams.org is NOT pope-related.

Which is the exact reason I suggested branching out. There's an awful lot of news you miss by being anchored to cable TV.
