Take a look at the current crop of news “reporters” and “journalists” … Are they actually schooled in their profession or are they pretty faces put in front of the television camera for ratings sake? Even the true journalists are forced to dumb down their approach because ratings do not follow factual reporting. Ratings follow sensationalistic entertainment reporters. I wish there was an easy place to dig up the truth, but I’m not sure that place even exists anymore.

I think it is like the news people don’t know they are supposed to tell the news, Stuff people need to hear so they can be informed about what is happening in the world. Where are we supposed to get the information if not listening to the news.

I don’t know what happened. They have been number 1 in the ratings without having to slide into this entertainment oblivion so I don’t know why the sudden emphasis on nonsense.

I thought I was the only one. Maybe they should get rid of Meredith and replace her with Martha Stewart. There would be no drop off in news reporting because Meredith hasn’t done any. I guess if you include her ice skating and falling down and hurting herself with Will Ferrell (while promoting Blades of Glory) as news reporting then I guess you got me there…

It used to be my favorite news show because I always knew they would have the up to date info and told the best. (Even though they were always a tad bit on the liberal sided view.) Now, like you said, it’s terrible.. they talk about what they “have to” because other stations are covering it and then the rest they do entertainment pieces only.

What’s the deal??
