I guess I'm confused by the whole thing about showing "real" news. Why is everyone so concerned that Paris was on 10 stations? So what? Can't you find another media source?
A newspaper, magazine, web news, something?
Why does it matter what one network chooses to air or chooses not to air? I pay mild attention to Paris because she is amusing, and I wouldn't be terribly upset if certain TV stations were Paris Hilton 24/7. Likewise, I wouldn't care if certain TV stations were 24/7 exposure to world news.
Most importantly -- what makes something more or less "real" news?
