The AP Bans Paris Hilton

It appears that the AP decided to run a 1-week ban on Paris Hilton stories, just to see what would happen. That fact alone is enough to make me sing their praises (where I am usually just deriding them). Turns out that nobody actually called up and asked for a Paris Hilton story, during the whole blackout. Hmmm.... sounds like all these celebs are actually not as newsworthy to people as the media make them out to be. See my recent blog about this media-fed craze. Maybe if enough of us would tell our news outlets and the AP that we don't care about every detail in the life of Paris Hilton, Brittney Spears, or Anna Nicole Smith, they would finally get the hint, and quit pushing these useless celebs' lives upon us.
