It was only a matter of time!

Not since he fled in his white Bronco - followed by media helicopters - has there been as much interest in a celebrity legal case as last week's Paris Hilton media coverage.

And, now, O.J. Simpson is giving his oh-so-valuable opinion on the whole Paris hoopla.

"When Paris Hilton was going to jail last week, more people knew about that than knew that we were sending people into space that day," Simpson tells Editor & Publisher. "It has replaced what is real news. There was always a place for it, but it was [gossip writer] Rona Barrett. Now it is the equivalent of Edward R. Murrow reporting it today."

Simpson revealed that he's soon to be involved with a documentary about media coverage because he wanted to discuss what he perceived as inaccuracies and sensationalism.

"It is about time that the news media point out that they are not doing their job," says O.J. "Things have changed a lot from my trial until today. It is all about ratings, unfortunately. When I was growing up, to watch guys like Walter Cronkite and Huntley and Brinkley, I didn't know what they thought of the news. Legitimate news people are giving their opinions. It is hard to tell the difference between legitimate news people and Nancy Grace and Bill O'Reilly."

Smack!

We're sure Bill O'Reilly and Nancy Grace will have some very strong opinions about Simpson on their shows!
