WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS? ………………..What’s all this recent fuss about Arnold Schwarzenegger fathering a child some 14 years ago? It was long ago and the housekeeper no longer works there and who cares anyway, just maybe his wife and kids?
The rumors about Schwarzenegger have been legend for years; he is after all a politician, just having finished his stint as Governor of California. Why should he behave differently from 99% of the rest of America’s politicians?
The media is all over it like it is big news – it is not – it may be sad, disgusting and a bit normal, but big news – NOT!!! This kind of stuff goes on all the time among the big fish and the little fish – ARNOLD is a big fish in politics mixed in with several dashes of Hollywood and the Kennedy clan and that’s why it apparently is so fascinating to so many.
Back in the day when President Kennedy was super busy with all of his extracurricular activities, the press turned the other way – they wanted no part in covering it, didn’t greedily try to exploit the shenanigans and the public hunger just wasn’t there.
Not today folks! Any story, any picture, why do you know how much money is at stake??? Photographers and reporters will stop at nothing to get the “goods.” Furthermore, our society is just plain sick – and tired. We have become so bored and predictable with our own lives, that only the juicy, dirty little secrets of the rich and famous are what keep us talking ad nauseum with our friends at the water cooler.
Every week a new scandal emerges and we forget about the one the week before. If the media wouldn’t cover it and create the interest, we would stop caring, stop feeding into it and release the need to hear these kind of stories - it really is a catch22!
But, then again, money is always at the core and where there’s money – you’ll find greed, and yes, greed will override humanity each and every time!! How sad!!!
