President Obama’s pick for the next Supreme Court justice could have been a great opportunity for the Cable News networks to bring real analysis of Judge Sotomayor to its viewers, but instead of bringing substance the Cable News networks became the source of controversy-ridden comments about the new judicial nominee.

I will not specify which comments I am referring to as it does not have standing in bringing attention to this article, but it is sad that comments from ill-minded, politically enslaved individuals in network news television shifted the developing story from analyzing the judicial philosophy of Judge Sotomayor to the hypothetical question of whether this nominee has the tendency of some moral…. Nope, I am not going to mention it. I will say is that these idiotic comments have hijacked the news trajectory to the non-substantive arena, and thus instead of informing the citizens the news developments will unnecessarily emotionally heighten everybody.

I am not implying that emotionally heightening is a bad reaction, but the source of this public reaction is based off of politically driven commentators who seek nothing less than media attention. These comments, however one might want to defend it, is born out of a popularity contest among television “personalities”.

I will be definitely staying clear of any “news” from the Cable News industry in regards to the developments of the nominee Sotomayor. Newspapers anyone?
