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

        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
