Why is it that you can't go to the Yahoo home page without seeing something about "American Idol"?

"See who got cut"

"See who screwed up"

"See Paula's latest meltdown"

Has watching that asinine show somehow become mandatory? With all that's going on in this country and the world, why is such meaningless fluff deemed to be so vitally important to the very survival of Western Civilization?

    Because most media outlets (especially those that report news) seem to create their programming based on the lowest common denominator: "American Idol", fluff news stories, etc. Anything that requires critical thinking on the part of the viewer is cast off.

    This is why I get nearly all of my news from the BBC America and LinkTV; they do not pander to the lowest common denominator.
