CBS just spent all of 15 minutes on the passing of Nancy Reagan. When Whitney Houston passed, hours, days, a WEEK went by ad nauseam with stories of her greatness??? She OD'd. Led her daughter to the same end. GREAT??

WTH is wrong with this world? Sorry... rant over. 

If you support Donald Drumpf, you're part of the problem 

The reason is ratings. Ratings mean dollars. Content, accuracy, truth, importance, and repercussions don't matter to capitalism. All about maximizing profits at any expense. 

One more point. It's the people who should be ashamed. The media gives the people what they want, which is drama, hate, divisiveness. The media is just the scapegoat. 

how long can they talk about a 94 year old woman who died of natural causes? I'm sure there will be coverage of her funeral. 

WTH is wrong with this world? Sorry... rant over.

It does illustrate a sad fact that our culture cares more about some pop culture trash. 

It is a simple popularity formula that is plugged in. Popularity equals air time. Why is this a surprise? The world turns on advertising dollars. Celebrity news has always trumped everything else.

Blame yourself. 

How is this my fault? I'm just a peon KU poster.... Effect... 0!

BTW, it's no wonder Trump is winning. Regardless of the conversation or platform, the name or reference to Trump is always present, without fail! 

Freebryd, not you yourself!!
Us ourselves!
Don't blame the media blame ourselves. 

Thx PIB 😺 

freebyrd she isn't even cold yet. How do you know there won't be more coverage? DUH! Just acting in your righteous bigmouth way as usual. 

How rude. You are part of the civility problem in this country. 

Name speaks for itself!! LOLOL! 

That there is funny!

Not to be a jerk, but a woman in her 90's dying isn't exactly a surprise. A famous woman dying in her 40's is usually going to be a bigger story. People are going to want to know how and why the 40 year old died. There is none of that when the person is in their 90's. 

"That there is funny"

😉 

I agree, its about what gets the most interest. And as pointed out, shes a very elderly woman passing on and thats not as scandalous as a singing icon who died tragically and too early. Both are sad but a younger person who dies way too early and in a unnatural way is just more of an attention getter.

RIP, Nancy. It seemed you led a very full life, i hope thats true. 

She lived a very long and full life and I am sure she was ready to go. From all accounts, she knew great love with her husband even though her relationship with her children always seemed sad to me.

As far as comparing her death with Whitney Houston, my mind didn't even go there. One was a tragic wasting of great beauty and talent way too soon due to a lifestyle. I think despite her demons, people were shocked that someone with so much promise died in a hotel bathtub. Just like Michael Jackson, she was Icon of talent to many people.

BTW- CNN has covered Nancy nonstop since the story broke. Maybe you should change channels.

Thanks Leila.

I agree with the birdie, this should be receiving more coverage than it's getting.

= / 

"FOX"y lady here! ;)

I will give CNN kudos in this case however! 

"FOX"y lady here

Well, there's your problem... 

RIIIIIGHT!?!?! LOLOL! 

I didn't realize she was still alive...I thought she died years ago.

RIP, Nancy.

And the comparison to Whitney Houston is stupid. 

^^^ That was me, sorry! Didn't realize he was still logged in. 

That's OK DP, I know you love me :p 

What are you talking about? It's on the news, both TV and social media, nonstop. 

Obviously my calls to the networks did the trick! 

The media would rather cover the death of a waste of skin drug addict. Thats the sad truth. 

She had to pick the day Peyton Manning announced his retirement. 

There is no news in the passing of a kind, generous, elderly, LADY. It is news when a drug addicted Beoch passes....Its our world folks. 

OMG, how selfish... 

NBC nightly news doing a great piece now. 

You were just watching the wrong channel. There was and is coverage. I think the big three don't do non stop coverage anymore, since they know the news channels have it covered. 

RIP Nancy


 

I like that... 

CNN had a show on seconds after the announcement. Clearly it was pre-produced and on the ready. This was expected. 

Whiteney Houston wasn't responsible for crack getting into the inner cities 

Your prejudice is showing Tif.... The inner city does not have the corner on crack and its multi-racial addicts. 

Tiffany is a pubie racist troll. Could be any one of a number of KU regulars. Set to ignore. 

Tiffany is Joey/Judy's newest troll alt.
