Let's Talk about Politics


OK, not really, but I know that one phrase can scare a lot of people. Close enough to politics could Tiger Woods huh? Yeah. It's pretty sad that big name news networks like CNN, HSN or FOX news waste God awful amounts of time reporting about Tiger Woods and his human mistakes. Now it's an even bigger insult that they think most of the country cares about what Tiger Woods does. I am so fed up with them thinking that he is news WORTHY. Here are several reasons why many people would not care.
1. He plays Golf: Not a huge sport, or I should say, as popular as many others. So I'm guessing many people just don't care.
2. He's an athlete. We can't expect much from our huge public figures can we now? How many other athletes can you name that have broken the law, been to prison or also had an affair..sometimes having a love child.
3. It's 2010. How can anybody be shocked that someone had an affair. I'm sorry to say, but with the amount of affairs occurring in the government..yes all you governors, senators, and presidents: Sports, including Tiger himself, A-Rod, Hulk Hogan, oh and Kobe. This seems like a natural thing to expect from someone in the public eye.
So with Tiger's apology to the public, which should of never been made (He didn't cheat on us) I felt he was definitely forced into it. I'm sorry Tiger. He's probably been through more hell then his wife.

For all these News Networks who are spending hours covering this supposed "story", it shows that they do not have great, or even good reporters or journalists who can dig deep and find stories that matter to the public. I am so disappointed in the media, which isn't too big of a statement to begin with anyway.
