Top 5 Reasons Those In Charge Don't Care About Us

3. Sad Sad World News

Okay I am aware the television is all about ratings. Is it absolutely necessary for every channel's news program to subscribe to this worlds a horrible place theme? Does every high speed chase need to be televised. I mean I think I saw this episode last week and I know how it ends. I believe that televising images of missing people or suspects doesn't help to lead to their return or capture . Sometimes, though, the media makes local issues national issues, like 17 pregnant girls in Boston ot the whole Jenna 6 debacle. In effect, subjecting one area to national judgment, and everybody's varying opinions which rarely leads to an actual solution, just a lot of discussion. Things like the constant reporting of shark attacks, making them out to be man eating monsters. Ideas suggesting vaccines cause autism. How about telling us how much gas is going up every day as if we didn't see it on the news we wouldn't be able to contemplate what was happening. How about SARS, West Nile Virus, Bird Flu, or whatever the perverbial pathogen flavor of the month is? Must the racial slur of every semi-famous person become national news. Especially when it comes to radio personalities, if i don't listen to the radio station why would care what they hell they said to their audience, and even I did listen to said station if i heard some thing i didn't like I would ummm..... CHANGE THE STATION!!!! And this is only the tip of the iceberg but i am going to stop here.
