The Most Important News Headline Of The Day - Justin Bieber!!!???


The #1 or most important story of the day on the local news stations throughout Miami was not how a mother abused and caused the death of her 3 year old son;  nothing was mentioned about recent rape of women or assaults occurring throughout the city;  the news  was not on the sentencing of the thug who murdered former Washington Redskins former football player, Shawn Taylor or on the sentencing of the disgraced former mayor of Sweetwater,  So many important events occurred throughout South Florida today. Yet, the most earth shaking event that appeared to have affected humankind in Miami and elsewhere on January 23, 2014 was Justin Bieber's arrest!!?? How could that be so? For ten or more minutes Justin Bieber was the news headliner for the 4:00 PM, 4:30 PM, 5:00 PM, 5:30 PM, 6:00 PM.news in Miami and it is also certain for the earlier newscasts. In fact, other so-called "news media," throughout the country also jumped on the bandwagon to make Justin Bieber into a godlike personality.  Surly, this is news that could have been aired later in the local stations' newscasts since there are already a number of entertainment media whose main function is to cover such "celebrity" nonsense. Today certainly demonstrates how local news have been deteriorating since they have become more sensational instead of maintaining focus on news that impacts the  lives of people within a community, the state, the country or worldwide.
