SHARKS BEMOAN LACK OF SUMMER MEDIA COVERAGE
--taken from www.Borowitzreport.com
What if they gave a shark attack and nobody came?
“They are chewing up more people this summer than they did last summer,
but the media couldn’t give a hoot,” says Sandy Hagan, a public relations
executive recently retained by the sharks to, in Mr. Hagan’s words, “get
the real story of shark attacks out there.”
But a source close to the sharks said that, privately, the many-toothed
aquatic beasts complain that the cable news outlets passed them over in
order to give airtime to their latest darling: conservative pundit Ann
Coulter.
Ms. Coulter, whose current New York Times bestseller “Slander” is
ironically about the lack of media coverage given to conservative pundits,
has been nearly ubiquitous on TV this summer, bumping the sharks off the
air.
“The feeling at CNN and Fox seems to be, if they’ve got Ann Coulter, they
don’t need sharks,” the source said.
I may have caused some to worry since I haven't posted an Anti-Ann Coulter post in at least 4 or 5 days. Why does this thing woman irritate me so?
