ROGER CLINTON, CONDIT SCANDALS FAIL TO HOLD PUBLIC'S INTEREST News Producers Worried Energy, HMO's Pose Threatening Distraction Peoria, IL - (GPS) - News Producers meeting here shared feelings of distress that the American public has not taken to heart the scandals they have repeatedly reported involving Roger Clinton and Congressman Condit. "Everything is energy, gas bills, patient's bill of rights. What the hell is going on?" demanded CBS-FOX-Weekly World News-Chicago Tribune News Editor Douglas Drek. "We give everyone a perfectly juicy sex scandal about a California Congressman and his missing, sexy young intern, everybody tunes in the Jim Lehrer News Hour to see who's trying to sabotage the people's right to sue an HMO," groaned ABC-TNN-Wall Street Journal-Heritage Foundation News Director Frank Caka. "Hell, even Pat Robertson is talking about the danger of Big Oil," whined NBC-GE-CNN-New York Post & New York Times Managing Editor Michael Phew. "And nobody but nobody is picking up on Clinton," complained MSNBC-Cato Institue-Scaife Executive News Editor Charles Yuck. "Here we've got the brother of the president-- okay, former president, an absolutely terrible singer, saying people paid him two hundred grand to sing? And meanwhile, there's $50,000 that he was paid to get a heroin dealer a pardon and the guy's still in jail and nobody's talkin'," Yuck said. "Whaddayou need, a roadmap?" The majority of those gathered expressed fears that they would have to try to milk the Jon Benet Jovi case or follow Bush's daughters if they wanted to maintain their cutting edge. "Imagine a world of hard news. Cronkite, Murrow, Huntley-Brinkley-- there's just no money in that," Drek said. |
