Paris the Genius

So she picks up a mil for getting out of jail and everybody is outraged thus guaranteeing ratings for NBC that couldn't possibly be attained any other way. And who do you think "leaked" the supposedly outrageous deal? Can you spell "N B C?" Or as a part of her contract could it have been Paris her own self doing the leaking? I know one person who knows her outside of any show biz shit and he has told me that Hilton is one smart cookie, her mom and dad are just as bright, and that her outside income last year--- from this "stupid" bitch --- was over 5 mil. She demands payment for every appearance everywhere, including transportation and meals. And that means everywhere.

Why Big Media CAN Matter

A "scandal" has been revealed locally involving the Hilton prosecutor who sent Paris to jail for a completely outrageous amount of time when compared with anyone else guilty of the same offenses (four days) and then pranced around like he was a fucking saint. So who steps in with a bomb? The LA Times doing what any NEWS paper used to do, which means digging into everything surrounding the Hilton situation, that LA Times, has a blockbuster. It seems that the Prosecutor's family has done precisely what Hilton did---records have shown that the prosecutor's wife was caught driving with a suspended license, no insurance, and with a DUI; to top it off. She never went to court on any of the charges so for several years there has been a bench warrant out for her arrest AND somebody in city government covered it all up. And oh by the way, she crashed a city vehicle (driven on her own time) and got the city to pay for it. Even more better, the prosecutor has been abusing his office by making his office help baby sit, do yard work, run errands and so forth on city time and with city money. It used to be that all newspapers covered the local news like a blanket; there is no way this prosecutor could have been elected without the local paper digging into his past first. We have one of the most corrupt city-county governments in the country, stealing money on almost every building built in the area, selling permits, demanding partnership arrangements with many restaurants and other small businesses in order to be allowed to open. But nothing is ever in the agenda driven LA Times that isn't hard core left, with their focus on state and national politics so as to elect "their" people. Oh yeah, who do you think sicked the dogs on the prosecutor because somebody did You see the original charges against the Prosecutor's wife were issued against her with her maiden name---her first name was also mispelled--and without a detailed road map this story couldn't have seen the light of day? Could it have been the Hilton people? Naw, that's impossible. Late Add: Patterico is all over the one complete with juicy links. My graduation duties have kept me away from all media for almost a week so I didn't know. Anyway, if your local fish wrap did their job maybe news paper circulation wouldn't be in the toilet.

Really interesting late add: According to LA Observed the LAT has hired the only real reporter in town, a guy who actually goes after a local story balls out. Meaning that instead of phoning from a cushy Times office suite getting information, the SOB actually goes out and calls on his quarry. Could be that the local rag has finally figured out how to actually report news and not propaganda.
