   Investigative reporting is all but dead in the mainstream media. They would rather write articles about internet shopping and the death of or attack on Christmas.

   Newsworthy?

   What I love about this is the irony... Posting a news post about the lack of newsworthiness of a news post. :D
   
   Actually... I like to hear which sales went up (what people bought more of) and what went down (what people bought less of), as I find it interesting to see how psycho people were for certain trendy things.

   Speaking of which, I'm off to join the screaming mob to try and get some lunch... Just that time of year I guess.

   Is an article about something being newsworthy really newsworthy?
   
   Well... I'm fucking confused now thanks!

   The rampant consumerism of the United States, specially around the Christmas holiday, creates an almost unending stream of vomit and bile in me. What a country! What values! What pride! What respect! Now get the fuck out of my way so I can grab the last $10 DVD player. The founding fathers are spinning in their graves.

   Wrong article?

   The article linked has specific numbers littered throughout the article, including estimates of total and percent increase over last year's online sales (18.1 million, +25% according to one, 30.1 million, +30% to another). There are quotes from ComScore, Walmart, Sloan Center for Internet Retailing, L. L. Bean, Piper Jaffray and even joe average. There are many ideas presented on why revenues went up.
   Sure, there are fluff articles out there, but this doesn't seem to be one of those once you get past the headline.

   Heh. I knew that might come up. But, part of what we cover here is media criticism for how the media covers the tech industry -- so it seemed relevant.

   No, it's not newsworthy.
   
   It's not even worthy enough to be on this blog.

   Rampant consumerism of the United States? How about Europe? Australia? Japan? Canada? Or just about every so-called western civilization. The founding fathers are smiling in their graves.
