ALL PLAYED OUT — by Steve Nadis
Given how much I write about NIGHTLINE, one might get the mistaken impression that I watch the show. And nothing could be further from the truth. Ted Koppel used to interview heads of state on the program; now it’s a cheap tabloid disguised by the affect of its so-called “reporters.” I don’t watch it but I do find out what’s on when the 11:00 news is over. And practically every day for the past 3 or so weeks, Nightline has led with the Michael Jackson story. Just when you thought they’d run out of Michael Jackson stories, they’d dredge one up, like the time his hair caught fire many years ago. Or what will happen to the children.
Tonight was the first time they didn’t have something about Michael. Instead they had nothing to say about a double murder in Florida that they’re undoubtedly going to milk for all it’s worth.
