Is it just me or has the Charlie Sheen story jumped the shark?  Coming from someone who typically can’t get enough of entertainment news, I find myself desperately channel (and web) surfing to find out about the power struggle in Egypt or how the current crisis in Libya is unfolding.  At first, I found Charlie Sheen’s rants amusing, borderline psychotic (ok, perhaps full on psychosis) but, most recently with a current custody battle involved, disturbing.  It’s a train wreck and I want to look away which leads me to my question of the day – has news become entertainment or is entertainment news?

I can’t argue that Charlie Sheen is not news, but when my news programs devote more time and space to Warner Brother’s firing of Charlie Sheen versus the innocent civilians fighting for democracy and losing their lives in Libya, I question the state of news in America.  I am not sure the media is “#winning.”
