 I personally don't think one of "American's Great Newspapers" should care about it.

 amen, brother. this "reality" garbage is not effing news.

There has to be more important news to read and listen to on TV then this.

 Who really cares about Jon and Kate? 

 Enough is enough already.  Let it go!  I'm so tired of seeing her face everywhere.  This is exactly what she wants.  I feel so bad for these kids.  Let them get a divorce and maybe the show will be cancelled which it should be to save the kids. 

 Who are they?  Who cares?  Why is this news?  More trash to keep the people preoccupied with nonsense. . . .

Who are these people and why does anybody care?

It's not possible for a story (or a couple) to be less interesting.  Never saw an episode, wouldn't know either one of them if they fell in my lap.  As for their eight kids, it's not good to stay married "for the sake of the children" when parents are miserable, or despise or resent each other.  It's also never good for kids to grow up on television.  Aww, too bad, Kate.    

In this news? No, it is more of a guilty pleasure but over 10 million people watch so it is topical.

In the last episode (before they announced their "hiatus") Kate said the show MUST go on? Yeah, to keep your lavish lifestyle. I thought it was just to pay the bills but I wish I could go all over the country for free. I would even hold the camera. How about the show going dark until you work out your marital issues? Alas, money is more important than family and the well-being of the chidren. But it IS for the kids!!!! No, it is for hair transplants, tummy tucks, breast implants, new house, etc. The nuclear family is dead. All hail the mighty dollar. Go sell another book and buy some more new cars. Bitter? As a new parent, yes, yes I am.

 Who cares? Everyone in the media acts like this is something special. Guess what....it is not. Countless people before and after them will be married/divorced but somehow since they are on TV they are different?

 Simply more evidence of The Dumbing Down of America.

 who cares......it is sad that people find some sort of pleasure or satisfaction in obsessing over this.......the parents will continue to earn big bucks and wreck their lives and the lives of their children...with the help of all thier viewers

Shame on the Post-Gazette for even addressing this crap.

 Prospitt and I finally agree 100% on something.  Frankly, they should throw those two back into the trailer park and cancel that cancer of a show.
