Hannity, O'Reilly Turn to Missing People & Celebrity Trial Stories

Have you noticed how The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes have gotten heavily into missing people and celebrity trial stories? Right now it's the Alabama teen missing in Aruba and Michael Jackson. Segment after segment. What on earth have those type of stories to do with political issues? After all, both programs are political talk shows. But there's a method to their madness. Most news is bad for their boss, Bush: Social Security, Iraq, economy. So they certainly don't want to have segments discussing those issues now. Better to focus on missing teens and allegedly perverted pop stars. Mark my words, if the news starts turning better for Bush, the missing people and celebrity trial stories will vanish, so more time can be spend praising Bush.
