Okay, I’m back to being annoyed by TV "news." That’s nothing new, but it’s getting worse, if that’s possible. Sure, you don’t see many movie commercials anymore, they are on the news. I don’t think that the latest reviews are news. Silly me.
Back in the old days, when newscast had some credibility, they were 30 minutes long and actually contained some useful information. Even local news shows now last an hour or more and contain nothing useful except the weather forecast and it rarely is close to what really happens. At least the weather prognosticators tell you that it is their opinion. So called anchors just give opinions and rarely tell any news worth hearing.
Some day all the national network newscasts will announce that some country has launched a bunch of nuclear missiles at the U.S. and they should strike within the next 60 seconds. Details right after we review the latest Hollywood has to offer this week. Or, even better, which celebrity doesn’t wear underwear.
It’s all opinion, and my opinion is just as important as anybody’s. "Journalist" should have to get a license after rigorous training and testing.
And, if they lie or give an opinion, they should be shot.
