Culling time

What the hell is wrong with the media today? Have they so seriously lost and sense of what is news or is it just their self-respect

I think this is a symptom of them pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Does the lowest common denominator really want news stories like this?

That makes me all kinds of sad.

A lot of this is runoff from internet and cable TV "news" (HLN & Fox news). Quotes taken out of context, cutsy stories, tabloid stories are infilltrating news. Misleading headlines, the whole nine yards. They need ratings too.

This is why I no longer watch television.
