Nope I will pass on watching Paris Hilton on the TV.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:28 amIs this a joke?
June 26th, 2007 at 12:29 amTP, stop erasing my info
June 26th, 2007 at 12:30 amUmm, only horny rich guys are waiting for her to get out. Oh, I forgot, she found Jesus so those guys had better have a LOT of money.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:32 amTP hard hitting tabloid news 24/7
June 26th, 2007 at 12:37 amFor the record, BlueArkansas does not give a flying f*ck. Peace.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:39 amClearly another example of the media's reliance on press releases and publicists to do their damn job for them. Nice work!
June 26th, 2007 at 12:39 amYes, Im so interested as Im in Jake´s posts.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:40 am::sigh::
Can we please talk about something else? Something more meaningful?
Like whether or not Prince William and his girlfriend are an "item" again.
/sarcasm off
June 26th, 2007 at 12:41 amIt is going to be breaking news... front page... top story on cable news... Won't this be a good time for Cheney to start dropping his nukes on Iran... this will make page 25 sec C...
June 26th, 2007 at 12:51 am***yawn***
June 26th, 2007 at 12:52 amI am so sick of Paris Hilton (and I never cared much for her to begin with) that when Keith devotes the last segment of his show to something about her, I change over to the Mets game.
He may be forced by his producers to do the segment, but they can't force me to watch it.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:54 amHard hitting Flaco...this is his only appearance today. Tiny.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:56 am"IfI Dit It...I Mean If I Did Anything With My Life"
June 26th, 2007 at 12:56 amWho cares about Paris Hilton, we now have Bobby Cutts in jail awaiting trial for a double homicide of Jesse Davis and her unborn child.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:59 amThis is one thread I wouldn't mind if people hijacked it.... all that was needed to be said was said in the first 10 posts. Maybe even before that.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:00 amAP knows that the world has not been the same since the light of the world has been incarcerated. I, like the rest of the world, have not been able to eat, sleep or do anything. I wait in my darkened room with tears in my eyes for the my beloved Paris Hilton to be free so she can drink and have a good time. Yeah, that's the ticket.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:02 amThis is the "Let's see who can come up with the most irrelevant story in the media today" contest thread.
I already proposed Prince Williams and his girlfriend. Although I think Jason M. Hendler beat me -and by a long shot. But then again, his posts usually are quite irrelevant, so he has had a lot of practice.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:05 amF*CK Paris Hilton and double f*ck any journalist that writes/broadcasts a story about her... and triple f*ck Larry King for putting her on the air!!!
I just said f*ck 3, no, 4 times in one post... and I am still displaying more class than the last, and the next pseudo-journalist to go on air and vomit out another story about this spoiled little bitch.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:10 amHendler, what about the 6X murder of actual people in Delevan, WI? Oh, sh!t, there aren't any foetus's involved. Doesn't matter, I guess.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:12 amActually, Hendler doesn't care about foetuses until they become male. Eh?
June 26th, 2007 at 1:18 amSo that was 45 days already? It seems like only a few weeks. Regardless, more BS fluff to subvert...

June 26th, 2007 at 1:50 amI wonder if the onion ring got caught any crabs?
June 26th, 2007 at 1:51 amWow! It's come to that......................You've got to be fucking kidding. I wish they were, but I know they're not. How sad is that?
Peace!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:00 amYou know, I don't get it. All those times I went to jail in my wilder days and not one peep out of the press. How could that be? It's a strange world in even stranger times -- this world, these times in which we live.
Peace!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:07 amParis left the World? Whoaaa, another Alien abduction!
Call National Enquirer pronto!!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:19 amI want a new rule at TP. No stories about people who can't read newspapers. Any newspapers. Even the funny pages.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:30 amI agree. let it be so.

Errr... I think that they are actually making a comment regarding the tabloid nature of the news media.

June 26th, 2007 at 3:10 am...tabloid nature of the news media.
Comment by JPV
The same media feeding us "news" from Iraq and other quagmires and scandals.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:17 amAs far as Paris~zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................
Turn on the news right now. This is why 41% of Americans still think Saddam was behind 9/11.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:22 amYeah, people would rather watch this garbage news then actually know what is going on in the world. Sickening to think about it but that's the world we live in...

June 26th, 2007 at 6:18 amJust as soon as this female does something to BENEFIT society, I'll pay attention to her.
Until then. . . . . . . . I don't give a sh*t what she says or does...
You can't get the Real news from the big media corps anymore, anyhow....
June 26th, 2007 at 6:44 amThey say Paris is a changed woman now.
She's a Democrat.
She has a girlfriend.
She has changed her first name to "freedom."
She's going to donate her entire fortune to Hillary's Presidential campaign.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:49 amI will have to agree with you guys on this issue. Paris' release should not be considered as relevant news. But I do believe that her post interview is important for other young people who are currently living a troubled life.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:59 amThe hotel heiress presumably will discuss more long-range plans Wednesday when she appears on CNN's "Larry King Live."
==================
You'd think they just released her from a Soviet Gulag.
Hey Larry! I hope this is the one that finally gets you into that 9th bolgia.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:10 amOnce again this site shows what it thinks is real news.
ROTFL
June 26th, 2007 at 7:27 amWhen so-called celebrities can dominate the news it is no wonder that we have such voter apathy. And people don't hear the issues nor understand issues. And what little news that is heard is given in 9 second blurts because "we" have the attention span of a knat according to marketing gurus. Bad enough that those 9 seconds of news are filtererd as well.
Our myopic and pathetic thirst for the next titilating tidbit of trash...well, garbage in, garbage out. Karl Rove understood this about Americans and used it well to get Bush into office.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:44 amI must be other worldly.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:54 amThis headline is a perfect example of how dysfunctional and worthless the media has become...
June 26th, 2007 at 8:02 amHEY TP, PARIS IS NOT NEWS!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:22 amOk Paris, now its your turn to hide. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 - here I come, ready or not!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:23 amTP is aware, I'm sure, that Ms. Hilton is not news. What TP is noting is that a major "news" source is treating her release as "news" instead of something actually "newsworthy." Second, TP gets to post what TP wants to post. So let's everyone stop, take a deep breath, and not read/comment if you don't like the story.
Cheers
June 26th, 2007 at 8:27 amOh, get over it, TP. We're news-challenged enough by the MSM, please don't add to it by reporting this drivel.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:32 amLarry King was scheduled to interview Michael Moore and discuss the national healthcare crisis, but was bumped by the PH interview. Sad, pathetic, tragic.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:46 amCNN's feedback form
Nah, there are plenty'o'wh0res in the net for free to choose.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:46 amAnyone else notice TP is getting overzealous in their censorship/comment policy lately? I had a fair comment pulled and despite a request to explain why it was pulled, I received no answer.
Did Murdoch or ABC buy TP?
June 26th, 2007 at 8:49 amlet the dumbing down of journalism continue unabated...
June 26th, 2007 at 8:55 amAP is exactly right (if by "World", they mean "America")
June 26th, 2007 at 8:58 am#41 HEY TP, PARIS IS NOT NEWS!
But the corruption, superficiality, and infantilism of the mainstream press (ie, AP) IS a legitimate issue.
Which is kinda the point.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:59 amGee, relax, people. I think TP is making a point here.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:00 am#49 - oh, just like 'World Series' - got it.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:01 amTP - that's it - I'm boycotting every Paris Hilton post from this point onwards. When are you going to put another missing white girl on the site?
June 26th, 2007 at 9:03 amUmmm, no...
June 26th, 2007 at 9:04 amThank God for the AP. For a moment I was getting worried about dick cheney's meglomania.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:19 amNow, if Paris were carrying an iPhone, it'd be a different story.....
June 26th, 2007 at 9:41 amAnd I see that my toenails need clipping. That story and Paris Hilton should be of equal interest to TP's readers.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:57 amAnyone else notice TP is getting overzealous in their censorship/comment policy lately? I had a fair comment pulled and despite a request to explain why it was pulled, I received no answer.
Did Murdoch or ABC buy TP?

"Once again this site shows what it thinks is real news.
ROTFL"
What TP is saying is that the Associated Press is pandering to the lowest common denominator by breathlessly reporting that "The World Awaits" news of Paris.
