I live in Arleta in the San Fernando Valley and just about fifteen minutes ago we experienced a small earthquake. I wanted to know the magnitude so I flipped the channel to the news and they did not say much. So, I log on to abc7.com and there is not a thing, but I do see that the number one headline is the story of fifties pin up, Bettie Page hospitalization, followed by O.J. Simpson’s verdict. It amazes me how useless this information is. I can’t believe that these stories are so much more important.
I feel sorry for people who actually devote their lives to this news.Yes, I am glad that O.J. is paying for what he deserves but lets get over it. There are other important things out there that matter much more than the burning down of an infamous Strip Club or the mother who was forging her daughters’ friends absent notes. I’m pretty sure we all have forged or had our friends mom get us out of something, so why is this news! I want to know and learn things that actually matter. If there’s an earthquake I want to know how big it was just in case because we are expecting the “Big One”. There are many headlines that do not really matter but I guess people want to avoid the truth; another example of ignorance being bliss.
