Shut Up Already!
Drop the journalistic crack already, and shut the frell up. If I don't hear another word about the Peterson/Kobe/Hacking trials and proceedings until you announce verdicts, I will be a very happy wolf. The incessent coverage of non-stories, non-events, non-happenings is inane, pointless, numbing to real issues, and demeaning of the dignity of everyone involved. I don't care who was wearing what, the deeper meaning of a given dangling participle, or the hidden implications of someone eating a hotdog for lunch. Please, please, please alleged journalists, get a grip or get help. Otherwise, we, the viewers/listeners may have to stage an intervention, or a mass exodus to some real journalism.

I don't even watch the news anymore because of this crap. What do I care about a murder 1,000 miles from where I live other than "Did the bad guy get caught?"
Network news has lost any relevance it ever had. I blame this on the trend towards 24hr news and the need to have something "fresh".
Maybe we need to just abolish televised news and go back to newspapers and boys on the corner shouthing "EXTRA!" ?
That, together with the internet, should cover it. :)
