'Idol' is not newsworthy

How many times in one week do we have to see "American Idol" on the front page of the newspaper? Is it big enough news that it exceeds stories of the continual whittling away of our Constitution? Think about it: If "American Idol" is covering the front page every few days, there must not be any bigger news going on. Why do I have to open to page three to read what's going on? Doesn't the Bible say something about not worshiping "Idols"?
