Kobe Bryant boosted my ratings!!
I tried, really I tried.

I really have no opinion of the Kobe Bryant situation. It's a
charge that is really known by only two people and the law needs
to take it's course.

What I do have is many opinions on the state of media, and the
"shock jock" (dealer in refuse) Tom Leykis to announce the woman's
name on his show is sickening and nakedlu oportunist.

He disguises his motives as trying to save the "good name" of one of America's "last heroes". It takes a second of critical thought to understand it's about rating, exposure and selling t-shirts.

This is the free market media people. None of that quasi-public trust of information, it's all about making the numbers at all cost to any threads of civility we still might be hanging on to.
