The media chooses who is in the middle, based in popularity.
Yes, but the medias idea of popularity is based on their own agenda and corp. interests. Which is sad because they've lost any kind of credibility, and as far as I'm concerned, have turned their syndicate into nothing more than 'reality' television - hey, it too worked for Snooky so I guess it can't be all bad - which is okay if that's the reputation your looking for.
