Downward spiral of news media
What happened to the news? These are two headlines from CNN today.
Wintry mix of misery across east.
Ice is ‘greatest nemesis’
These are the TOP headlines on the site. I guess on one hand I should be thankful that nothing dire is going on to trump these silly headlines, but am I the only one that finds this ridiculous? I mean, I know there’s lots more interesting and important things going on than the first major snowstorms of the year. Why do we need to dramatize weather patterns that happen every year to be the most oustanding news item on a national news service? I understand they want attention, they want ratings, they want more readers, but I fail to see how this gets them anything except maybe ignored.
