Really? Who Cares...

As always, I woke up to my morning news updates to see what's new around the world and I was really shocked as to find out what is considered news. I thought News meant, it was NEW!!?!

Yes, the oil spill in the gulf is still leaking at an undesirable rate.

Yes, The Lakers are still world champions since clinching game 7 against their rival Boston Celtics on Thursday.

Yes, Jon Goselin still is divorced and still has 8 kids.

Yes, Tom Cruise is "walking the fence", toying with insanity by his consistent pitches about Scientology.

I mean, what is News anymore? All these things happened days ago. Its like News really isn't news anymore its a Dead Horse alert. The media continues to UPDATE information as if it happened 30 seconds ago when in fact it really isn't news.

And then when the media does update real news, a lot of times its not even important, relative, POSITIVE or conducive to a healthy lifestyle.

It all seems to be full of fluff, negativity or gossip that neither uplifts or empowers are society, leaving us desensitised with immoral values and beliefs because of the "if it bleeds it leads" syndrome.

One of the reasons why I started stopsellingdreams.com is because I was tired of accepting what people in the media broadcast to us as news.

The truth is, yes I have a degree in journalism, so I was taught to seek out YOUR truth, meaning do your research and don't accept what people, media or naysayers give you.

Ask questions and find out your answers that make sense to you not just because someone "credible" told you so. What makes that outlet credible? Especially if the content they are speaking about is he said she said based material anyway.

I say all that to say this: This morning I ran across an article on yahoo entitled "The Most Disliked People In Sports". Which makes me think, who writes this stuff? Who really controls what is cool and what is not?

I mean honestly, this is a perfect example of how the media tries to control who and what is cool and what is totally unacceptable.

Truth be told, Michael Vick did a crime, paid his debit to society and still has to deal with the boos and hisses.

Why, because he funded an underground dog fight? People have done worse things in life and been greeted with more sympathy, compassion and forgiveness.

Who are we to judge? Most people or lets see, the same people that put these celebrities on a pedestal are the same ones who break them down.

Really, to be a star you are one successful triumph and one mistake away from being great or being the worse thing on the planet. Look at Ron Artest!

This is the same person a few years ago ran in the stands at an NBA game an assaulted a fan. Now hes a favorite because he was a phenomenal player in the Finals. SSD!

Believe me, I know everyone deserves a second chance, I'm just saying please media outlets, let ME choose who I should like and hate. Thanks.
