I love a girl named Mika Brzezinski


They made fun of Mika Brezinski. Though her methods may have been flawed, I respect what she did. It takes guts to say what this isn't right. In the end she got made a fool of. The media is one of the world's most powerful tools of social change, whether it's trying to be or not.

I recall Benjamin Franklin's penny press. Maybe one of the most influential mediums in influencing the construction of early America. I'm sure there were very silly things he reported on, knowing his flippant personality. But I could doubt that the release of an ex-con is worthy of Headline news.

When the news begins to realize the power that it holds and begins to use it to help our country then things will begin to change. Until then, our society will continue to watch glamor stories like Paris Hilton on the headlines of the news being released from prison and adopt it into our unconscious perception of reality.

But it's only a skewed picture off the truth because behind the scenes others watch and think that the repercussions of drinking and driving is a joke and the walk from prison to the awaiting car is a walk of glory, not that of shame.

I'm not saying ignore the story, I'm saying reflect reality and investigate the injustice instead of supporting the glam off getting off early and smiling about it.

Here's a new one for you: what makes news? who had it right, Penny Press or MSNBC?

I guess we all have to decide. Right on Mika for making a choice!
