When people were all up in arms a few weeks ago about her right to free speech, etc., my thought then was the same as now: of course she has a right to free speech. But do I have the right to be spared her speech? As any American citizen, I believe her right to say what she thinks is protected by the first amendment. I just wish that people with a public pulpit were actually intelligent. You ask why we know Rosie is leaving The View. I ask "Why do I even know Rosie's name?" She's stupid and talentless.

Blanket-covered legal stories, high profile murder cases and the like, are certainly one example. Sprague - No doubt that money is chasing everybody down the rabbit hole. That said, I'd argue that it's not working. Everybody can't cover everything all the time and win. Leave gossip to Glosslip, I say, and let ABCNews cover real stuff. The Note has been in "mini-Note" mode for weeks. Let's get going with the great political coverage again, kids, and give the Rosie 24/7/365 a rest for a little while!

I doubt the news editors at ABC graduated Columbia Journalism so they could keep track of breaking news at The View. It's because the audience for MSM online skews young and shallow. Do an Alexa traffic ranking on tnr.com vs. perezhilton.com if you really want to hurl. BTW, that Rosie ODonnell tag in your post was a glitch, right..? ;-) You don’t think they’re featuring stories about that dope because they want to, do you?

What nonsense to lead off to see which of seven suitors were the father of her child. More insignificant than this is hard to top. The funny thing is this:the mainstream media is so omnipotent that even though I have no clue who she is or what she did in life, they managed to still let me know about her through headlines. It's hard to ignore the utter garbage they feed us. Some of us manage to simply go past this but it's not surprising many more get hooked in. Seriously, to think they (the networks) get paid a lot of money to post this crap. You can add Anna Nicole Smith to the list.

You know I love you and Glosslip, Dawn, and I know that I can get great gossip, snark, and celeb psychoanalysis there. BUT when I head to ABCNews.com and see the flashing red Breaking News banner flashing, I'm expecting something of the hard news variety: peace in the middle east, the aliens have landed, that kind of thing. There's a place to dish about Rosie and The View, and my take is that above-the-fold on traditional online media outlets is not that place. Not in the slightest!
