News these days... (vent...)

[rockhardzj]

Has anybody noticed, all the news thats been coming up lately revolves around just complete stupidity and retarded people? And if its not that, the news seems to show the complete wrong side of the story!!!

 

Doctors taking pictures of patients tattoos, kids who beat their little siblings to death like mortal kombat, teen in college who had a secret other side of being a porn star that gets murdered...

 

 

Like seriously, wtf does a doctor need a picture of a persons tattoo that reads "hot rod" for?

 

Why are underage teens drinking alcohol, and then beating their little sibling to death mortal kombat style, and then wait 15 mnutes to realize the girl is dead before calling an ambulance??

 

and The Teen girl who was a good college student, making cash on the side by doing some modeling porn? seriously, who cares that she was a small time porn star, she was murdered, and didnt deserve it, yet they focus on the fact that she had a secret life in porn!

 

theres a bunch of other stuff too, but its surprising how much is just plain dumb news, and how far it gets blown out of proportion and such...

 

And who the hell cares that Barrack Obamma tried drugs... how does trying drugs make you a dealer? Bill Clinton tried drugs and nobody gave a $#!&, so why hate on the black guy?

 

Also, who cares that Hilary Clinton has the same financial backing for the race as Bill Clinton, I mean come on, if I ran for something, and then some years later my wife or kid ran for the same position, who really gives a flying poop that they have the same financial backing for the race in candidacy?

 

 

Sorry, just a little venting, but hoping people see the same thing happening that I do...

I think Don Henley said it best,

 

"I make my living off the evening news

Just give me something-something I can use

People love it when you lose,

They love dirty laundry"

 

It's not about the stories, it's about the rating$.

 

Truly a sad time we live in. :cry:

Our local station news won't stop making stupid puns. Also, the anchorman looks like Tom Selleck, and the field reporter looks like Dave Coulier (uncle Joey from 'full house')

Personally I don't think any of it is all that new, I just think we're exposed to more and more of it due to all the news coverage. Think back in history to any era and try to imagine what a 24 hour news channel would be covering.
