Curiosity is not unusual!<br /><br />The difference today is the emphasis placed upon it. I don't really think that people are generally more interested in 'celebs' than they were, say, 50 years ago. It is rather that the MSM are desperate to sell newspapers. <br /><br />But the more that the MSM go for this silliness, the more intelligent readers are repelled. Once the celeb interest wains, or changes from subjects which are photogenic, then the MSM will suffer a lot. <br /><br />Maybe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-57638423597759332002012-01-04T02:38:38.426+00:002012-01-04T02:38:38.426+00:00I suppose the answer is that people will watch it ...I suppose the answer is that people will watch it John.

There seems to be a rejection of the 'celebrity culture' in the msm - you only have to read the comments on the article in the DM today about Sherlock to see it. Many people are sick of being lied to and manipulated. The msm have to wise up & go back to being investigative journalists rather than printing press releases. If they don't, they'll find that independent bloggers and social media users will overtake them completely.GoodnightViennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028146701684804650noreply@blogger.com
