I realize with 24 hour cable news covering every minute of Anna Nicole Smith's death things have gotten bad. They only break when they want to update us on Britney Spears on again off again rehab. But what I can not understand is how things have fallen off in New Jersey. I realize I expect alot from my Sunday papers but this week raised more questions.
The past week saw talk of the state budget, federal subpoenas, and civil unions. But the whopper on page A1 of The Home News Tribune was about WRESTLING! Yes if you don't understand the behind the scenes working of wrestling you can turn to the front page, above the fold of today's paper and find out about 23-year-old Rob Strauss. Rob is a wrestler who struggles to make it big - and that is about all the story gave us. Not only can you read the story but there are 7 photos of the wrestling at a Knights of Columbus hall.
Come on is this really front page news. Maybe it belongs in sports or entertainment but the top news of the week. When I read today's paper I try to think of who the target audience is. I would love to know the demographics of the readership. I just can not believe there are senior citizens in Woodbridge or Edison so excited that their questions about wrestling are finally getting answered.
Oh well can't wait for next week - Loch Ness Monster Real or Fake.
