The answer is yes!

What we are fed from TV sources is supposedly a reflection of what we want to watch. The argument goes that if there wasn't an appetite for this type of coverage it wouldn't be aired because no one would watch it.

Here is an article asking if these two moms (Kate Gosselin and the Octomom, sounds like some sort of deep sea creature) have been overexposed. The answer is easy. Yes they have.

From the article, "So should the media, particularly the news media, continue to fill the airwaves with stories and interviews of these two women? Howard Kurtz posed this question to a panel of media experts Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources."

The answer to Kurtz's question is a resounding no! But then again, asking a panel of experts on a news show this question only perpetuates the hype even more. So, I would say that there is a bit of irony in writing a news piece asking about whether the piece of news it is reporting on is over-reported. And I know, I know, posting about it does the same thing, but hardly anyone reads this blog and I can't take any more news about these two moms anymore.
