Jenn Sterger Playboy And Brett Favre Knock Down Rick Sanchez

The twin combination of Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Brett Favre's alleged sexting of his privates to Jenn Sterger, and the revelation that the New York Jets sideline reporter that she is, is was also a Playboy model has worked to dominate search trends, at least on Google, and knock Rick Sanchez and CNN from the popular search ranks.

What's interesting is that neither topic has been talked about as much on television as on the Internet. Little by little, Internet search trends are becoming separated from television. That's only anecdotal, not a scientific analysis.

But the observation is that as more and more people turn to online sources for news, and as television news becomes more and more fragmented, the trend will continue until television's role as influencer will only be in the case of big national and World events watched by millions, like The World Cup, or The Super Bowl.

What it also means is that more, not less of the time, sex and scandal on the Internet will rule the search trends of the day.

Jenn Sterger Playboy Rules Search

In the case of "Jenn Sterger Playboy" and "Brett Favre," those terms have been repeated with different combinations of words and winding up repeated six to eight times on Google Trends hot searches over the last three days, or since the Jenn Sterger Playboy and Brett Favre issue got hot.

It will only intensify, and keep Rick Sanchez and CNN off the pop search grid, or at least way down in it. If you remember, Rick Sanchez was fired by CNN last week for saying that Jews ran it and the media. For most of the week, until Wednesday, Rick Sanchez was the most consistently popular topics online.

Stay tuned.
