ABOUT FUCKIN’ TIME!

I am about to proclaim a big crush on the following news reporter (I’m going to refrain from calling her a journo as I don’t think she actually writes any of her own stories, though I could be wrong.

Now, there’s news and then there’s news. I consider news to be the stuff that either impacts on me, my country or my world in a significant way - coverage regarding new policies or laws, changes in the media landscape or changes to this country’s administration are some examples of this. I DO NOT consider updates on Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Richie or Paris Hilton to constitute serious news on any level - that kind of tabloid reporting should be reserved for the farcical commentary of programs such as Sunrise (I can’t be the only person who detests these ‘breakfast shows’ and has a deep-seated hatred of Kochie and Mel!). I happen to think that majority of televised news programming is a bit of a joke (mostly due to the bias passed onto me by the leftist ideals of past media lecturers - thanks, John!), but when these so called news programs decide that Paris Hilton being visited by her parents for Father’s Day constitutes something of national interest, I can’t help but fume.

And so, when this link was passed onto me, I could be heard loudly exclaiming “YES YES YES!!” repeatedly from my bedroom.

It’d be nice to have been exclaiming repeatedly for a different reason, but I’ll happily settle for a TV news reporter with a bit of fucking journalistic integrity for now.

P.S. And a big F-U to her two male counterparts, in particular the arsewipe to the right - you are a sorry excuse for human being, and you should wish for even HALF the responsibility and integrity of your female counterpart.
