What has this country come to when Paris Hilton pre-empts programming on Larry King of the Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act? Of course, all other real news stories on other cable stations were pre-empted by Miss Hilton also.
Talk about priorities being out of whack! Are the American people so comfortable with their own lives and so lazy-minded they'd rather indulge the latest gossip than spend a little time hearing about health insurance discrimination against millions of fellow Americans touched by mental illness and/or addiction? Or is it the fault of the corporate media that only want to spoon-feed us fluff instead of real news ? I believe it's some of both.
