Better headline…NY Post: “V-D Day”.

The best headline I’ve seen?

“The liberation of Paris.”

Much like Socrates and Martha Stewart, jail time will do a world of good for Paris’s street cred. Larry King’s just the beginning.

Thank God she’s out … now we can drop the ‘Lohan extending rehab stay’ VO / reader in our 5 p.m. entertainment block for something more relevant to everyday citizens like you and me such as the story of a pampered princess who threw a hissy fit when she realized she couldn’t buy her way out of the legal system.

I wanna send a bottle of scotch to the judge who sent her back to the hoosegow. He’s the real star here.

Do it because you’re told to, or because it’s what the audience is interested in.

It is all the rage for TV people to read this story with an air of disdain or to comment on its validity after reading the story. Rings hollow.

Don’t do the story, if your principles won’t allow it; and if you do it anyway because you were “told to,” then your principles don’t mean much anyway.

I absolutely loathe this story, and in fact, made a public pledge several weeks on my TV site to never ever mention her again.

I understand why news organizations feel that they need to cover the story. But my feeling is that if you do give it more than a brief mention, you’ve lost the ability to then complain about how it’s not a “legtimate” news story.

I just watched a segment on CNN in which they had a package about her release, hyped the Larry King interview, and THEN then anchor made some comment about not understanding why its an important story. Sorry, that’s a bit late in the game to bring that up.

“Hilton released, uneventfully.”

Remember when news stories were actually about something newsworthy?
