What's wrong with mainstream media?

Please shut the hell up about O.J. Simpson. There are so many more important things going on in the world right now than whether or not a washed-up celebrity stole sports memorabilia that may have been his in the first place.
I know, there is an underlying issue of race in America tied to the story. Or at least there was the first time he made headlines in the 1990s. But if you really want to tackle that issue, take a look at what's happening in Jena, Louisiana. As many as 50,000 demonstrators are marching on the town of 3,500 today over a case involving six black high school students who are on trial for beating a white student involved in hanging nooses from a tree on school property.
Do you know how many items a search for "Jena" on Google News brings? 3,910. A search for O.J. Simpson has 14,140 results right now. Here are a few other important stories being overshadowed by your sensationalist obsession with the Simpson case:
* Habeus corpus (844 results) - Yesterday a bill to grant habeus corpus protections to Guantanamo detainees fell short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster and be considered in the Senate. By the way, the first Google News result I found was from a paper in Ireland.
* Combat time (1,409 results) - Yesterday another bill failed that would have required troops to spend as much time at home as they spend deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan, essentially requiring Bush to scale down troop levels. This was a little harder to search for, but the method that returned the most results was searching for the bill's author, Jim Webb.
* Expansion of FISA (1,599 results) - President Bush is calling for an expansion of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and Democrats and Republicans alike are debating how much leeway the government should be given when spying on U.S. citizens.
