 Sure... but your point was lost back then because you were talking about Weinstein/an extremely relevant and important story, celebrity or not. Not because the idea that North Americans are too into the entertainment industry isn't true.HughFreakingDillon said:
 this goes to my point a few days ago about "Celebrity trumps society"PJ_Soul said:Wait, what? The death toll in Puerto Rico is 70 times higher than "thought" (reported)??? I haven't seen any news about that at all, let alone 3 times less than news about Roseanne. 
 But back to the Roseanne story..... Our little side convo here got me thinking about just how important or not important this story might be..... I think everyone is fascinated with it because it's so damned "gossipy" or "juicy", and also because people love to see wackos like Roseanne fall from grace (especially when it's the second go 'round). That's the superficial crap you're talking about I think.
 But then there is the issue of ABC's response, and how that ties into the behaviour of and response by the POTUS and his supporters .... I think that side of the story deserves some serious attention.
 Not as much attention as Trump's completely indifference to Puerto Rico's situation though, obviously. That is appalling.

 I agree. but unfortunately, I think this further emboldens Trump in his own mind as being untouchable. just the fact that he used a friend of his being held to account for being racist to demand further retribution from a foe is staggeringly out of touch.PJ_Soul said:

 I have no issue with these stories when they have a larger societal consequence, like weinstein, like this, but this roseanne story specifically, in my opinion, is NOT bigger than the Puerto Rico story.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0

 Well it should be, at least... Makes me wonder though... Like we talked about before, the media focuses on what the audience wants... Does the media have a good reason to assume the masses really don't or wouldn't care about the Puerto Rico story? They probably know the audience a lot better than we do.HughFreakingDillon said:

 of course they have good reason, because our society is addicted to celebrity. they fucking elected one.PJ_Soul said:

 however, I think that the press has an obligation to not just sell themselves, but to tell the important stories. it's twofold. unfortunately, there is so much tabloid news everywhere, the previously respected news agencies that would have placed the roseanne story as a footnote, have no choice but to compete for clicks and views. and the idiotic public dictates what news we all get.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0

 The idiotic public does not dictate what news we all get, you’re responsible for the “news” you consume. If you’re reliant on one or two sources of news, faux news, CNN, or less, shame on you. You want to know more about Puerto Rico? Give up your Facebook news feed and seek out information.HughFreakingDillon said:

 as a general rule, I don't read the news. I do visit CNN occasionally, but I'm smart enough to know what's partisan and what isn't. not all of us have the time to seek out reputable underground news sources all fucking day long.

 No, I’m not arguing with anyone that he says stupid shit. We all know that twitter should be on the NO list for him. I was saying that it’s ridiculous to get up in arms because someone said “happy Memorial Day.” That’s taking it to a silly level. I listened to a baseball podcast yesterday and within the first minute the guy says “happy Memorial Day everyone!” It’s just a greeting- don’t let your hate for the president make you react poorly to commonalities.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:RoleModelsinBlood31 said:
 I had over 50 people tell me happy Memorial Day yesterday.PJ_Soul said:Seriously, who the fuck says "happy Memorial Day"???? I've actually had conversations about how inappropriate it would be to say "happy Remembrance Day" (Canada's Memorial Day), like as a joke - a tasteless joke .... I've actually had a laugh with others over how weird that is to say. But the fucking POTUS just blasts it out there on Twitter without even thinking about it. SMH!!!
 And the "... and women in 18 years".... WHAT THE FUCK?!
 The same guy you're sticking up for here wrote a tacky 'To all my friends what an amazing time' at the holocaust memorial... and a 'get well soon' to a McCain's cancer diagnosis.
 He's a f**king clueless dolt- just like his brain dead supporters.I'm like an opening band for your mom.0

            I don't ever hear Christians smiling and saying "Happy Good Friday everyone!". that would be weird.

 I don't care who says it, it's inappropriate and out of context. People who fail to engage their thinking skills are mindlessly saying something that they shouldn't. Do you go to a funeral and say happy funeral day? Happy Memorial Day is not a commonality any more than Happy MLK Day.RoleModelsinBlood31 said:
