I have been watching the daily newscast slowly evolve into something that is like 55% teasers, and 20% entertainment crap, focusing on the latest star nere-do-well, sometimes as much as five minutes or more of senseless bantering between newscasters on the subject extending the fluffisity to new levels while real news is at best glazed over and video wise we get a series of stock shots mostly featuring the cameraman shooting the story (what is that all about?). This is even on major News casts like ABC, NBC, CNN. After watching a news cast, that had maybe 5 news stories, and the rest the crap listed above, I went online to see if that was all there really was going on, I was shocked to see they had neglected to mention at least 10 new big News items, that I found fairly easily, and things I thought should easily have made the news. Why is this happening, and is it being done to shunt our poor innocent ears from a lot of the bad stuff happening in the world, or we just watched ourselves into fluff by supporting these types of news programming, or has TV News Programming just hit the wall?
I went online, got all if not most of the news, a "complete" weather cast, including all the business, tech, and science news all in about 10 minutes. I don't even know why I bother to watch broadcast news anymore, but I still do, as if miraculously the format will reset and I will see a regular news cast full of News, but it never happens. I think it's conditioning, the kind you can't break out of...
