Why on earth is fashion treated so much on the news?
I really hate it when the news runs commentary on what people are wearing, etc. It really got to me during the election to-do. Do they talk about it, because they're forced to fill a 24-hour news schedule, and the images are "there" for them to comment on, but they just don't have anything original to say about real stuff, so they talk about what people are wearing? Or do people actually care about such things, and if so, why? But the whole "fashion gaffs" vs. "fashion hits" thing... Is it just me, or has coverage of this increased just recently to an incredibly annoying height? I'm inclined to think that it's just a matter of journalists needing to have an image to go with a story, and people wear things everyday so... ta da! A news item! But if anyone else knows better, please let me know...
