USA TODAY or dundalk eagle....Which Will Escape Extinction?

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT: USA TODAY TRUMPS DUNDALK EAGLE!

Just yesterday I was standing on the corner of Belair Road and Erdman Ave waiting for the 22. I see some man in a white truck get out of the van and walk over to the thing that holds the newspapers. Im wondering what in the hell is he doing. I see him picking it up and putting it in the back of his truck. I just sat there with the dick look and sipped my cup of  tea.

                               

  So I get on the 22 head down to Highland Ave and Fayette St., waiting for the 20 bus... and again I see the same man get out of this creepy white van with no name and walk towards me. I get to thinking like is he following me or nah ? Then I realize, I am leaning on the newspaper thing. He comes over to cut the chain and carry this one away and guess what...I am still sipping my cup of tea because it looked rather suspect to me.

So lets get right to it, we all know that USA Today is geared to reach the WORLD, and not just say.... *cough cough* Dundalk. When there was all that mayhem in Ferguson, those racist remarks from the Clippers' Owner, or with the Trayvon Martin trial, we don't go out, purchase and read the Dundalk Eagle.Lets be 100% clear I know buying a newspaper is a dead mission, BUT lets just say you were to buy one...USA Today...Dundalk Eagle?  I mean, the only reason I know about the Dundalk Eagle is because I was in it this year for playing softball for the school. Other than that what is a Dundalk Eagle and why would I be so interested in it? If you aren't from Dundalk would you even know about it? Nah! I know I didn't. I know before I came to Dundalk I didn't even know where Dundalk was. Dundalk is so small, that the Eagle only covers what's in this little "town".Now USA Today that's a BIG STORY.... It covers just about everything you could think of. You have technology for all you techno people, life or "gossip" as we know it, for the younger generation, sports for all my BILbut ride the bench people, and news for our grandparents. I think the clear winner is : USA TODAY.......dundalk eagle

 

 

Drama, Drama, & More Drama

As we all may know Kanye West is in the media a lot for his actions, words, wife Kim K, and baby North West. West is in a industry where the weak do not survive. I don't condone some of the things he does and says but he is not the only person who thinks like that it is simply because he is famous. I think Kanye West is smart, he has realized that DRAMA sells. Kanye is going to do what he has to, to make money, and get himself known. I may not think of myself as a GOD but I do think highly of myself, and he isn't wrong for doing that.

West stated, "When someone comes up and says something like, ‘I am a god,’ everybody says ‘Who does he think he is?’ I just told you who I thought I was. A god. I just told you. That’s who I think I am." Since Kanye is going to do what he has to make money the public and media pick on every little thing he does or say. For example Kanye made headlines on September 12, 2014 for telling his fans to stand up at a concert. There was a man in a wheelchair who could not stand and the media found a way to criticize him on it.

Now don't get me wrong Kanye is NO saint by any means lol, im sure we all remember his Taylor Swift interruption during the VMA's in 2009.

Drama sells and  that's all you tend to see In magazines. Publicizing celebrities problems and making them seem so much more than what they really are. I mean why do we care so much and make it such a big deal? Why are we so strung over Jay and Bey and whether or not Jay-z has a secret child. Walk down North Ave or go down the Village and ask the men down there how many "hidden" kids they have. We as a society, as a world and generation have put these celebrities on such high pedestals that we act like they aren't human and make mistakes or do certain things.

Why is it that drama sells? To us we see it as entertainment but to the people it is happening to, this is their life. "Newlywed Kim miserable already" why is that entertaining for us, why is someone else pain our pleasure? Our generation, our WORLD IS so corrupt, and vengeful. I do not blame the writers for doing what they are doing. It is there job and they need to get paid and provide or their families, they are only doing what sells and what we allow. If we didn't allow this then it wouldn't be ok. When are we as a world going to stop being so brainwashed and allowing one mans hurt to make our day, and give us pleasure and entertainment?
