Why so much Hype ??

When I was reading the paper today, i came across a article which was headlined as "Deva Gowda's hissing guest causes flutter”.

Devo Gowda is a politician who was once the Prime Minster of the country and then he was thrown out of his seat and after which he has been followed by the paparazzi a lot . In today's paper the news reported that in Deva Gowda's apartment there was a rat snake which had entered in an auspicious date. They also stated that he was scared to death when some one told him that it was a cobra and they also brought in speculations that he might do a bit of a funda with the governmental issues because a snake entering in an auspicious date might mean something to him as he is religious.

Now after analyzing the above, what I feel about reporters is that they have nothing else to do except to talk about such bullshit. Instead of using the time in reporting issues helpful to the readers , they waste their time talking about a freaking snake that had lost its way and entered into a politician's house . After all why do the politicians require so much hype? They aren't doing anything useful nor are they doing anything constructive.

Reporters shouldn’t be that jobless that they report anything or over thing they get other wise it'll just be no use reading the news paper.

@rishi
not every one of them have a chance to be innovative! Earning your bread is indeed a necessity, not just being innovative
