SNL Calls Out The Media on Woods Scandal



"Saturday Night Live" nails the media again for it's over coverage of the Tiger Woods scandal. Sometimes you wonder if this is a deliberate attempt to divert the public's attention from real problems such as the economy, Afghanistan and the excesses of Wall Street. The American media seems to have forgotten its job is to educate and inform people, and now concentrates on giving people a steady diet of entertainment, all the while keeping them ignorant on important issues. I compare it to a parent who feeds their kids a steady diet of junk food, but never gives them fruits or vegetables. I can't see the news value of Woods' mistresses being interviewed on morning TV.
