The problem with television news is they have replaced "hard news" with fluff and 24 hr news channels have too much time to fill with scandal and speculation.

it's the same crap everyday or regular news isn't on when i actually want to watch it.

It's on television, and who gives a tinker's dam about Brangelina, Lindsay, Britney, or Tom Cruise?

some is true, some is trash, some is time filling. some is eye opening.

it reports sports stories and scores which, to me, is no different than reporting entertainment news.

All of the above.

it has the same content as the Entertainment news.

It's biased and short of the entire situation. But of course these things help generate higher ratings!
Posted by: Nepharia | May 14, 2008 at 09:17 AM
it's almost always bad.
Posted by: Fluke Starbucker | May 14, 2008 at 09:42 AM
it's ratings driven.

It's either badly skewed or irrelevant information.

...there's too much of it, which drives the overwhelming amount of carploa that serves as filler...

we don't need 3 hours of it every evening!!!
Posted by: Sara | May 14, 2008 at 04:05 PM
they think that we really want to hear all that crap night after night.
Posted by: Diana | May 14, 2008 at 06:35 PM
that it is there....twisted as it is.

they spend more time telling us what they are GOING to tell us than ACTUALLY telling us. (I hope you can follow that!)
Posted by: sister AE | May 14, 2008 at 07:56 PM
there are too many commercials
Posted by: michelle | May 14, 2008 at 09:21 PM
they only tell us what they think we should hear.

It's all repeats of the good stuff, they don't really make anything original anymore or if they do they BATTER the format to death.
Posted by: Gordon | May 15, 2008 at 04:41 PM
they only tell you what they want to.

It's a corporate business with too much time wasted on chit chat and not enough investigation.
Posted by: colleen | May 16, 2008 at 10:56 AM
It can get so depressing!
Posted by: Sol | May 16, 2008 at 08:00 PM
My news conspiracy theory... Numb their minds with the same old blah blah blah so they won't care what's going on...
Posted by: Sue | May 17, 2008 at 06:36 AM
it's all very one-sided, and it's all doom-and-gloom.
Posted by: Kisane | May 18, 2008 at 01:32 PM
nepotism in hiring practices, incompetence and cruelly manipulating issues with no regard to the effect on individuals/society.

It's not about journalism, but ratings.
And it's on too many times a day.
And they don't report on Broadway Musicals.
And they don't have surprise celebrity cameos.
