Re: Wow
I continue to watch because I just want some idea of what's going on in the world. I want to hear about the EVENTS. The "analysis" part of newscasts I just tune out.
Also, I pick my newscasts carefully. For example, I won't watch CNN, Fox, MSNBC and I try to avoid the other big three (CBS, NBC, ABC). Unfortunately, SeeBS just bought the independent channel I was enjoying for news.
I like Google News online, but it doesn't cover much local stuff.
I think the news should be limited to the FACTS and small words, and that sensationalist reporting be outlawed. Not to mention, any news reporter with an opinion ought to keep it to themselves because I'd like to make up my own mind, not listen to theirs.
There is this one channel in L.A. called Channel 5, and the one newscast guy does a good job. He reports the news (FACTS), and then later has a "Commentary" section where he gives his opinion of the news, and they are very clear it's a Commentary because they announce it as such. Too bad its only one station that does this.
