The Irrelevant Walk

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Last night I saw the news. Conrad Black and Barbara Amiel were walking a Chicago street. When the cameras got to nose-hair proximity, Lord Black turned around and asked the camera folks to leave them alone. He stressed they were just walking, and that nothing newsworthy was going to happen. I believe him.
Unfortunately for this couple, everything they do between now and shortly after the jury verdict in the trail will be deemed newsworthy. Whether it is or not is irrelevant.
Why? Because all Canadian media outlets (and some elsewhere) have deemed this story a major one. Any glimpse of Black and/or Amiel doing anything is a photo op for now.
Should it be this way? No, and at one time it wasn't. But now media itself has changed to give us up to the second reports.
If Black and Amiel want privacy, they should stay in their hotel. Otherwise, all their actions, relevant and irrelevant, will be captured.

Regards,
Irrelevant
