The Daily Show host John Oliver on Tuesday night mocked the media’s coverage of the newly born son of Prince William and Kate Middleton. He said the pomp surrounding the birth was like a “royal f*ck you” to every other baby born that day. Though Oliver hoped the birth of the royal baby would allow the media to move onto other more important topics, he was sorely disappointed to learn news outlets were now obsessed with speculation over the baby’s name. He also observed that before the baby was even born, CNN was out bothering pregnant British women.

1. Somehow I just can't get all that worked up about it.

2. Hours of over and over

coverage of the name George. Royal baby name bets!
Bill Moyer just did a show on how little air time Obama gets when he is speaking.
This country needs news for a source of entertainment and that is it.

3. It's a baby. Get over it.

There's an easy solution to those who "hate" what the msm chooses to report on.

Turn it off.

Simple, and done.

Go looking for the news of interest in papers or online. Turn off corporate "news."

It works for those of us who aren't addicted to "news" shows and getting upset over what the talking heads have to say.
