RIP News Media

from Failing Up · host Timothy Mahar

I grew up, well if I ever actually did grow up, loving the news, especially broadcast.  At one point I even worked teleprompter on the local news.  That news is gone on to a better place. Instead, we now have 24/7 news right, left, up and down, panel after panel full of experts screaming at us!  Why do they all scream!!  All opinions and projections and not news.  The news is lost, fact is fiction and audiences are being entertained and believing it, because it must be true.  Fuel flaming the fire for ratings.  I miss one or two co-anchors just reporting the news without their opinions, and let our individual brains be the panel of experts. timothymahar.org
