In order to increase readership and viewership, the entire news media has decided to refer to everything as a "scandal." Boom Pole of the Associated Press said this move will probably increase interest in even the most mundane news stories, "Every new film opening is now referred to as a "film scandal," Pole said, "even this lame local story I'm working on about these gradeschool kids who put on a Dora the Explorer play is going to be titled, "Kids Engaged in Dora the Explorer Scandal." Many have complained about the news media's overuse of the word "scandal" when referring to stories that even warrant such a word. However, words such as "scuffle," "extravaganza," "massacre," and "bloodshed" have also started to irritate readers and viewers like Violet Reed, "Not only is a construction worker getting a papercut not newsworthy, it also doesn't deserve the title, "Construction Worker Overcome by Massacre by Scuffle with Paper, Bloodshed, Extravaganza," Reed said.
