GG and ES are the panache, they're not the *substance* of this.

My logic is not flawed regarding your comparison to Boston. That's a false equivalent. Celebrities make news.

If it leads, it bleeds, and that guy covers those two 'juicy' categories. His story sells papers.

The news TELLS THE TRUTH. And they've not told us the truth about this NSA thing from jump. People started realizing that, and...

Oh, look, there's a dictator. He gassed his people. Or the rebels did. Oh well, let's throw the inspectors out and claim we are bringing freedom. Or answering a call. For freedom. Or something.

And while i don't think the gassing was staged, john Kerry's speech sounded like the Bush admin (Colin Powell at the UN) It was almost like one was an opera buffa and the other was a soliloquy, but it smacked of theatre all the same. (Read: they don't give a shit. We're bombing them)
