Paris Hilton has more perspective than corporate media.

A recent quote from Paris Hilton:

"I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq and other places around the world."

A selfless sentiment which will be ignored since news departments run by corporations will only broadcast news (and, with reduced budgets for reporting, loud punditry) that will get ratings and not cause potential loss of money or access to Real Power for their CEO parents.

Now it's only a question of how much Parismania the media will keep bombarding us with until mid-to-late August when the TEN YEARS SINCE THE DEATH OF  PEOPLE'S PRINCESS DIANA carpetbombing begins in earnest.
