3 Ladies I just Dont Care About

AND YOU SHOULDNT EITHER

Ok the media has been going nuts over a few people and its really getting on my nerves. There are numerous more importent events to be covering these days, so their obsession with the follwing women is unfortunate to us as the views, not to mention freakin boring as all hell. The first women who I could care less about is Katie Couric. Now I understand she is about to become the very first full time female news anchor in network news, and I guess that is significant, but other than that, who cares? The show will be the same boring thing it was when Dan Rather hosted it, and they news will be the same as on FOX and CNN and the rest of them. To me, she has nothing about her that is interesting enough for me to tune in and watch her read a teleprompter. If she was in a bikini, I might watch. Maybe thats me being sexist but I dont care, its the truth. CBS is really hyping her arrival, hoping it will get their broadcast out of the ratings basement. My prediction, she will probably do well the first few nights, but after a week or so, the hype will die down and so will her ratings. She wont beat Brian Williams and she wont beat Charlie Gibson by October. Best of luck to ya Kate.

The second woman that I dont care about is Jill Carroll. You might remember her because she was kidnapped by terrorists in Iraq a few months ago. Now, for some reason, the media is going crazy over this women. CNN especially has been playing up her story on their website almost daily. That shouldnt surprise anyone. Why dont I care about this woman...let me induldge you. First, allow me to express my jubilation that she was not killed while she was captive. I was actually shocked she made it out alive, and Im grateful for that. On the flip side however, she should not have been in Iraq in the first place. Her presence in that country, and her subsequent kidnapping only made the job harder for our troops, who then had to go rescue her butt. These are the same troops I might add that whom she criticized before her trip there. People like her do not belong in a warzone, because they always run the risk of getting kidnapped or killed. Like I said, I am glad she is ok, but I had no sympothy for her while she was captive. If anything, it shows just how cruel and stupid the enemy is that we are fighting. My advice to her: stay home Jill and write some memoirs of your heroing experience in Iraq so you can make money off of you dumb liberal friends, and dont forget to write about how the US military saved your ass.

Finally, the last woman, or girl in this matter that I dont care about is JonBenet Ramsey. Again, the media is going nuts over this idiot who says he killed her. I personally think the guy is full of crap, yes he is a bizarre looking psycho, but thats not a reason to cover this story 24/7. Let the investigators do their jobs, and if at the end of the day, he is the one, then cover the story, but do I really care what the guy had to drink on his flight back to the states yesterday? Nope. Its just a circus these days in the media. Even if this jerk is found guilty, its not going to bring that little girl back. Sure, it will be closure for her family, but what do I care. This is the type of story that should be discussed on the third segment of a news show or in the 8th page of a newspaper, but in todays media its the top story. Remember, this murder happened ten years ago, so I should care today because?

I think you should do your homework before you criticize people you know nothing about - let me help you...

Jill Carroll

1. Is not making 1 dime off of telling her story for FREE to her own newspaper, which is a NON-PROFIT, dedicated to providing information to Americans as a public-service.


2. By your line of thinking, no reporters should be allowed in Iraq. Jill was there as a journalist trying to get the best information to help Americans understand what's going on there and how much longer our troops will have to be there. So many people criticized reporters for reporting from their "balconies" and you criticize Jill for not being like that.

3. Jill NEVER criticized US troops, but you don't have to take my word for it - listen to the Marines:

"I was a public affairs officer with the Marines in Iraq last year and had the privilege of working with Jill on several occasions. Her professionalism and objectivity were unparalleled within the media community. I saw her in Husaybah, on the Syrian border, in early December shortly before I returned to the States. Aside from being very personable and down-to-earth, what really struck me was Jill's bravery. She seemed to fit right in with the Marines and Iraqi security forces. It is this attribute, I believe, that will see her through her current ordeal. My family and I will continue to keep Jill in our prayers. I am hopeful for her eventual release."

"...There are more lucrative ways to work and faster ways to advance a career. But just as athletes do it for love of the game, freelancers in Iraq seem to do it for love of the story...The sense that I could do more good in the Middle East than in the U.S. drove me to move to Jordan six months before the war to learn as much about the region as possible before the fighting began. All I ever wanted to be was a foreign correspondent, so when I was laid off from my reporting assistant job at the Wall Street Journal in August 2002, it seemed the right time to try to make it happen. There was bound to be plenty of parachute journalism once the war started, and I didn't want to be a part of that..." - Jill Carroll
