Nothing exemplifies how lazy the broadcast medium has gotten than this non-stop coverage of the new Pope. We who are not Roman Catholic couldn't care less which old parasite they put into the office.But it saves the networks having to deal with real news when they can cover all these old queens marching through the Vatican, create a pseudo suspense about black or white smoke, and speculate where the next pope will come from. In the meantime, while they are obsequiously and reverential covering this non-event, they do mention that the new pope is anti-gay and every bit as bigoted and narrow as everyone who came before him. And don't expect any serious coverage about the obscene wealth of the church, the fortune in artworks that remain in the basement, the endless sex scandals, the politics involved, and maybe even why the old pope turned in his tiara. News is no longer news. It's finding something easy to cover and covering is ad infinitum. So it seems the new pope is an Argentinian. Well, golly gee, imagine that. I wonder how long it will be before the skeletons start falling out of the closet and the networks make that the new non-stop coverage.
Note: All these old men have avoided real work and lived off the Roman Catholic church most of their lives. Many have had sex with young boys and girls without any punishment. They have servants. They dine on gourmet meals. They live in splendid quarters. They travel free. They are misogynists and bigots. And without having any true world experience they think they know best how the faithful should live their lives. It's time Roman Catholic realize just how much they have been taken by these
freeloaders in ball gowns.
