Do you ever just want to go up to some of the people who run the news and just punch them in the face because the stuff they put on air doesn't qualify as news? I do all time.

Not to sound harsh, but everytime I hear Iraq, terrorist, suicide bomber, I just swtich myself off. Id rather watch paint dry then listen to the same crap thats happened the previous few weeks. Feels like Groundhog Day, everything being repeated.
I'm the same. I'm also sick and tired of hearing about the Muhammed drawings. Enough already!Quote:

I think new broadcasters believe some of us live in caves without electricty and dont know about the big wide world.Quote:

I like the American news, you dont have snobs telling you the news. The BBC wouldnt allow anyone with a 'common' accent to do the radio broadcasts and the same goes on today on TV. They all look so dull, uninteresing, half dead and the worse dress sense Ive clapped eyes on. Least Americans try to have a laugh when its something comical like racoons, they wouldnt even get coverage over here!
American news is nothing more than "pretty" people reporting half assed stories and trying to be "charming" with their fake smile and attempts and humorous banter.Quote:

Does anyone actually take the news seriously anymore?

Twiggy is totally news!
I just ignore them and laugh. I just listen in for the important stuff. Usually I only watch the news in the early mornings after a all nighter.
you mean like if my house burned down and the measly reporters had to be there to question me at a time i don't want to be on televison? ...yes. and the "dirty laundry" they expose - they're dirty - but well deserved if it meant exposing a pedophile.
>>> News suck..
Yes, I do. That's why I never watch local news.
And major news shows could do with being more diverse and showing more news from around the world, especially the 24 hour ones.
Uh yeah. My newspapers lie to me, and CNN and BBC -- well, they're okay. I can get a somewhat balanced picture from them. But newspapers. Ugh. I do read them; but I never even realised how controlled what goes in them is, until some time ago. It kinda defeats the purpose of 'news to the people'.
I don't watch The News, If I want to get depressed I watch Eastenders.
You watch the news O_o Why? I read the news. You get more local and national news in the same 1 hour time frame and it is usually way more informative instead of sound bytes.
