Censorship I can get behind

[lederhosen]

Major international news agency Associated Press has banned its journalists from filing stories about Paris Hilton, the New York Observer has reported.

Also, unrelated, Kitties!

It pains me deeply to hear (and see photographic evidence) that the fine actress Hayden Panettiere, has been spotted with Paris & her pals. That situation won't end well for Hayden.

Of course they had to cut out all mention of Paris Hilton: she was stealing broadcast time from the 24-hour Anna Nicole Smith coverage we're getting here in the States. I guess Paris is just going to have to OD before she'll be newsworthy, because it's not like she's being covered for anything other than because her publicist is paying her way.

I'd watch that video.

Foreign Perspective

I guess I could have imagined there would have been a lot of Anna Nicole Smith coverage, but I am priviledged in this instance to be only dimly aware of it as a passing fact. The Italian rags have no intention of stopping Hilton coverage though.

Be thankful. The cafeteria at my place of work has two monitors always on either CNN or MSNBC, and I've stopped trying to see what the news for the day might be because both outlets are unrelenting in their "sodomizing the corpse of Anna Nicole Smith" coverage. What's scary is that some 89 percent of CNN's audience disapproves of or doesn't care for the incessant coverage, and yet CNN's producers keep going for that 11 percent that can't get enough of her, Hilton, or Britney Spears.

I never had any particular interest in ANS when she was alive, but it does vaguely bother me that so much of the media have been eager to assume her death was a drug overdose before any sort of official autopsy is available. Can't be sued for defaming the dead, I suppose...
