Have you tried listening to Adam Curry and John C Dvorak's No Agenda show? (
http://www.noagendastream.com/ or through iTunes Podcast section), they feel much the same. They dig through what is really happening out there, when they do mention a celebrity story, it gets a jingle "back to real news...", because that is all the press seems to report - that or "the distraction of the week," they seem to think that a lot of the celebrity stuff is put there to keep the couch zombies entertained, whilst distracting them from what is really happening... I think it could be right up your street.
