What happened to the 24hr news cycle? I read here last night about Ferguson but not one "news" channel had any actual news on their channel. I get

that it's the weekend but not one had any news, just shows that I'm pretty sure no one watches. How many inside prison shows do you need to watch before you realize it's a dangerous place that you don't want to ever visit or end up in?

And at 11 when the local news came on there wasn't one mention of Ferguson. I hate what the news has become.

There was nothing on my local news besides the breaking news banner. No reporter apparently works on Saturday night. - droidlet Sep 28, 07:07 13
- And I wouldn't have known if my wife hadn't texted me asking why 20 police cars went shooting down I-70. -- nm - droidlet Sep 28, 07:08 12
  - But if Beiber had crashed a remote controlled car they would have had reporters at the scene. What a joke they've all become and it's bad for America -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 07:15 11
    - I'm not so sure it's bad for America. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 08:23 10
      - if america wanted real journalism, they'd be happy to provide it.... - x Sep 28, 08:34 8
        
        They need to figure out how to do it in a funny way. John Oliver committed a blatant act of journalism last week on the Miss America thing - Reagen Sep 28, 08:57
        
        They shouldn't be giving them what they want but what they need. That's a big problem that they refuse to acknowledge. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:38 6
        
        i don't think that's the reality. these are businesse, not public service providers... - x Sep 28, 08:43 5
        
        The news division is not where they're supposed to be making a profit. Networks make their money other places and news is usually a loss or breaks - Krusty Sep 28, 08:59 4
        
        we'll just have to disagree. personally, i think you're looking for a model that is long gone in the u.s...... - x Sep 28, 09:06 3
        
        The model in the 50s and 60s is a historical aberration. -- nm - Reagen Sep 28, 09:20
        
        Downhill since Murrow. But it just gets worse and worse with not one organization or station to standing up for what's best for the people of America - Krusty Sep 28, 09:13 1
        
        because standing up would likely mean losing audience to the others. and there's the rub....nm - x Sep 28, 09:15
      - Bad or lack of reporting on the news is bad for everyone. They're failing at their jobs now going on well more than a decade. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:28
