That’s right. The most pressing issue of our time? Michelle Obama’s bangs. As Twitchy reported, there was much breathless buzzing when the bangs were revealed. Media outlets are continuing to swoon over the date that will live in infamy: FLOTUS Fringe Day.

Even a fellow journalist points out the obvious.

Those outside the sad, little media bubble express disgust.
Dead Americans in Benghazi and Algeria but all the media discusses is Michelle’s bangs. Media catering to “Honey Boo Boo”audience. Sad

I’m so glad the media has gotten over talking about Michelle Obama’s arms and can finally start talking about a serious topic, her bangs!

4 dead in Benghazi but media covers her BANGS! Our media is beyond despicable.

The MSM has spent more time gushing over Michelle’s bangs than they have reporting on #Benghazi, and #FastandFurious. Kind says it all#tcot
