Oh dear.

Yesterday, in an effort to stay somewhat current with "modern life," I looked at the Huffington Post.
It's an awful on line paper which I guess is crafted to appeal to everyone. It contains political "news" and total trash.

I'd heard the news, suspected some of the reporting and wound my way down to the bottom.
It appeared that the current thing was Miley Cyrus-a singer whose dad came from Kentucky-who'd preformed at some awards ceremony. She seemed to have managed to shock people.

I clicked on the performance and CNN's commentary. I watched both long enough to gather that the young lady relied on sexual posturing and taking off her clothes. Nothing new there.

A CNN commentator was outraged. Well, that was sort of new.

Today I read the comments of the CNN news manager. She explained that the whole "news" coverage of Ms. Cyrus' "dance" was to improve their ratings. Nothing new there either. Then she lit into the audience of all the news on TV and on line. The audience, in short, comprised idiots.

Is that new?

I am ashamed to have fallen for this ploy and will never again attempt to figure out popular culture.
I knew I'd screw it up.
