Dan Shafer comments on the general substance free nature of TV News
Yep. "Real" news on TV died an agonizing death years ago when networks decided that next-day interviews with stars of network shows were news when they clearly weren't. I read two newspapers and several newsy Web sites a day and never watch TV news any more. I'm a tiny minority, but it works for me.Being an informed participant in the democratic process should be worth spending some time and brain cycles, not just sitting dumb and dumfounded in front of a boob toob passively absorbing the crap the networks hand out.
