"The media only supplies the demand."

I'm not sold on this any longer. I think the media tries to create the demand. The more sensational the story they "create" the more copy sold. (Check out OJ'S latest escapade as an example.)

I also think that, due to the perceived need to fill "x" number of pages, air minutes, etc., stories undeserving of distribution not only make it into production, but get revised ad-infinitum to satisfy production quotas.

How many consumers really care about Tom Cruise and his latest marriage? It sure is taking up a lot of space. Are there really that many adoring fans out there to justify the "buzz?"
