I ask that question all the time about the Kardashians. Who are they, where did they come from, and what makes them so news worthy?? Just a couple of weeks ago I saw an interview with Tom Brokaw. I think he is a highly respected news person by everyone in the business. Although he periodically shows up on NBC programs, he's retired. Someone asked him if he was sorry he retired. He replied "Absolutely not. It's not what it used to be. When I saw Kim Kardashian at the White House Correspondants Dinner I knew I didn't belong there anymore."
