24/7 OJ? Not so much this time
Editor’s note: Whoops! Missed my entry yesterday. I could go several ways with this (break down, panic, and quit; “steal” posts from the day before; illegally post date a new entry), but I’m going to take the highest road I can find on it, and owe you all two posts today.
A couple months ago, OJ Simpson got arrested for allegedly holding up an antiques dealer at gunpoint. The sentiment I heard at that point (I wish I had a link for it; alas you have only my hearsay to go on) was, here we go, it’s twelve years ago again, OJ Simpson in court will be all over the news again….
Interestingly, though, that doesn’t seem to have happened.
The world did not have the same access to the Internet and other information sources that aren’t broadcast and cable news that we do now, and there’s enough other stuff going on in the news and online that we’re not all glued to our TVs anymore.
I’m sure the TV media would love for us to be paying attention to their constant reporting of such things as OJ, but (in my opinion) to society’s benefit, we’ve got other sources of news and entertainment now and mainstream media just doesn’t matter as much these days.
