News in the US is
packed with useless trivia and “he says, she says” gossip. It is a trivia
packed reality show that is full of conjecture and gossip. It is total tabloid
news. 90% of it is useless. It covers unconfirmed scandals and accusations. It
is a liable machine.
It consumes hours of
reporting on inconsequential events like trips of government officials, showing
airplanes on the tarmac. It covers weather disasters and terror attacks for
weeks.
I suspect that news
organizations are not covering what we really need to know, because they don’t
want us to know what we need to know.
The media is totally
financially dependent on advertisers who object to certain coverage that needs
to be known. This is true with small town and big city newspapers and TV cable
news. So, what we get is loads of ads and very little useful news.
The media is blatantly
big-government, public sector oriented. Most TV programs showcase government
employees in crime shows and crime news reports.
News organizations
have the opportunity to report a lot more detail on news we need and can use.
It is always difficult to get details of pending bills, because legislatures
like to pass unpopular bills as quickly and quietly as they can.
