Another Kennedy in the News

Will the media ever tire of reporting on the Kennedys?

Seems Patrick Kennedy, a congressman from Rhode Island, has a car crash in the wee hours of the morning and all main stream media outlets have treated it like a major news story.

Sure there's some news value in it, but to keep it alive for so long? Why can't they use their energy and time reporting about the real news for which most Americans have a keen interest?

Why don't they start telling us the truth about our government for example instead of treating pronouncements from the White House and Congress as gospel? Why they they spend the time to delve into the meanings behind the stories?

Why am I asking why?
