With the recent upswing regarding missing White girls and the resulting syndromes, there is no shortage of media coverage (esp here in KC). As I’ve noted previously, coverage of Paris’s stupidity continues to be all over the place, often usurping ACTUAL news. I came across this one today, and I thought it was especially relevant given the current news.

There is a growing uproar in Miami with regards to another missing woman, Stepha Henry, but unfortunately for her and the people who care about her: a) she’s Black b) Paris is still more important. She is a 22 year old college grad who went missing May 29th. Apparently MSNBC had numerous guests (including police spokespeople) prepped and coming in to discuss the matter and get the word out, when they decided to cut the coverage for more on Paris.

“As I waiting to be interviewed, I was listening to the Paris Hilton coverage to include discussion to the effect if anybody had seen or knew the whereabouts of her Chihuahua.

“Then they tell me they have to cut the piece, cut my interview because they’re doing constant coverage of Paris Hilton. I’m appalled that a missing woman cannot get even 60 seconds of air time because the priorities of MSNBC was to have footage of the front gates of Paris Hilton’s house.”

I don’t try not to blame the media, because they are simply responding to consumer demand. If they start talking about missing Black people, most will tune out. In that same reasoning, I seriously doubt they would have cut a piece on Kelsey Smith.

Paris > Missing White women >World News > Local News > missing Black women

Now we ALL know that this Paris shit is hilarious. I laughed out loud at the thought of the look on that talentless broads’ face when they made her squat and cough like the rest of the ‘vacationers’ at the ‘ol county clink. This thing really took off today, when I guess they came and got her ass from her house and re-clinked her. Increase hilarious level, please and thanks.

Oh, and this is a week after Sarah Silverman shat on her at the MTV Awards while Paris was sitting there looking near tears. Only problem is, MUCH more important things were going on. While the entire country was concerned about what some standard issue rich White girl was doing, Peter Pace–the highest-ranking U.S. military official as Chairman of the Joint chiefs–was replaced.

.

The Bushies knew he wouldn’t have made it out the coming Senate Confirmation hearing alive. He seems to be the latest to lose his job because of this administrations’ lack of anything resuming the slightest inkling of foresight, insight or planning or management or strategy or intelligence in regards to the Iraq quagmire. Anyways, CNN and MSNBC among others interrupted their coverage of this very important event to live HELICOPTER feeds of this this broad being taken to jail. Again. With obvious rushing and yelling off camera, MSNBC cut away from an interview with Colonel Rick Francona on the Defense Secretary replacing the Joint Chiefs Chairman Peter Pace, to show Paris Hilton leaving her house in West Hollywood to attend court.

I never like being reminded that this country is full of idiots who watch other idiots in their spare time. Oh and by the way Paris…watch out for your corn hole.
