Remember when there used to be at least an attempt at news shows? Everything now is blatant infotainment. Sometimes I find it entertaining, and there's only one place to see candidates speak live and such.
The 24 hour news stations have become an extension of the "E" channel. No coverage of world events, no coverage of anything really. They can only focus on one story a week. But will preempt any important news to show some celebrity.
