Who the hell cares?
Yes, it's time for another installment in the expanding file about media stories marked "Who the hell cares?".
In this case, the story - here's an extended discussion of it - that David Paterson supposedly
described Mayor Bloomberg in private as a volatile, Spitzerian, untrustworthy, out-of-touch, self-destructive billionaire bully.
Even if true, who. The. Hell. Cares?
Seriously?
This is the kind of media circus that prompts voters to despair. It's not as if there's a war on, and maybe the economy isn't really collapsing, maybe we don't have over 4,000 dead Americans (and dead Iraqis in their thousands, but we don't even count them), a President who broke the laws of the land with impunity, global warming, 4,000 kids in Brooklyn who don't even know whether or where they'll be going to school next year, the list goes on.

Blind Item of the Weak
Which big media company stationed in New York City has VPs agog over some of their downsizing ideas? This MSM company is said to be so eager to slash down their news division that they're considering outsourcing all news reporting and editorial work --even local NYC reporting-- to India.
