One interesting thing to watch about all media is how the line between ‘commercials’ and ‘news’ blurs.
I see it all the time on the local Denver TV stations. When some idiot from Idol said he’s quitting, the local Fox station ran it as ‘breaking news, update at 10’ all during the football game. This of course was right before Idol premiered.
Or, if you flip by the local news, you often see ‘news stories’ where they are showing off stuff you can go buy and telling how wonderful it is.
Most local ‘sports news’ will tell you to hurry and go get your tickets now to an upcoming game.
Or of course, the entire ‘entertainment’ news industry is all about selling tickets to movies and plays and the such.
And, it seems like every time Apple introduces a new product, Truthdig puts multiple stories all about it up on their front page. I wonder why?

Yeah! I am breaking out my tent and sleeping bag, still warm from the Avatar opening.
