    Would the press and the media be that vastly different?

    Yeah, do people actually care?..
    And how much of those that do is manufactured by the media in the first place to sell their rags?..

    The internet has killed the news. This is what they have become instead.

    What ????
    Are you mad ?
    The people that watch/ read that crap would have to guess what?
    Deal with their own crap.
    Far better to bitch and moan at celebrities than actually sort out their own drama.
    In general males have sport to deal with their crap, women have soaps/ celebrities for their escapism .

    But at least they were proper rich or well bred or witty.

    None of your lowest common denominator big brother or talentless show wanna-bes who could be replaced from the queue at any bus stop or checkout
