Michelle Obama hugs the Queen!


Oh no everybody run! The queen has just been touched! The queen has just been touched! Get out of here with that nonsense. The queen obviously didn't mind and was actually the first to extend her arm around the first lady. So what's all the fuss about?

It never ceases to amaze the worthless amount of time spent on such trivial matters by our mainstream media. Do any of us really care if there was any unofficial protocol broken? Do we really care if the queen were to be offended? I would have to believe that most peoples answer would be a resounding "no". None of us care about this type stuff because it really doesn't make any of us money or affect our lifestyle at all. We have big bills that require all of our attention. As well as domestic issues that deserve more attention than just a wag of the tail.

Mainstream media is so utterly repulsive at times with the topics and stories covered, making their overall function at times seem like a waste of time. The attention that a simple gesture between two prominent ladies had received is a terrible waste of time, making the top of every news reel around the globe. As if there is no real stories to cover. Media seems to have watered down over the past several years.

No one asks the tough question anymore. The semi-tough questions that do arise have no follow up questions from reporters after their initial questions receive either vague or no answers at all. Some media pundits afraid to go against the grain in their line of question in fear their media pass maybe revoked. So what do these people do? They produce sugar-coated politically correct stories, with partisan views and a lust for quantitative ratings versus quality journalism. I'm sure somewhere in the world there is a story of better substance and value than two peoples casually touching one another. Or is there?
