IMHO news has become the new form of entertainment. Quick, sharp, emotive stories to be dished out by every journo trying to get a name for themselves in the world of media hype to sell advertising space. Thanks to us for tuning in, reading or listening has driven the sensationalist crap that is now entertainewsment. Ask yourself how much news do we really need to know. How much or what will change our daily lives? Perhaps for most that there lives or so boring and mundane that they need this sort of drivel. Luckily I have my head in the clouds and not up some editors arse!
