Day after day, I turn on my TV to see the early morning
news. It is mostly Good
Morning America (ABC) and it
is more about celebrities than anything else. They have the latest boy band, or
woman singer, or some woman that decided her voice was great so she video
taped her singing the Star Spangle Banner
at the Lincoln Memorial and it went viral (a phrase I'm beginning to get sick
of). An instant celebrity, easy as can be.
But what about actual news. It's there. buried beneath the next
"Dances with the Stars" winners and other useless crap. Who gets
blown up in a terrorist attack, who gets bombed in the middle east and who is
ahead in the elections is only a small detail of the day.
I get
a head ache watching that stuff. I can turn to other stations but they are just
barely any different. So every station I watch in the morning gives me a
head ache and I barely get any real news. I do learn about the latest air
headed celebrities that I have no real interest in knowing anything about.
Maybe if I were 13 again I would like this kind of news...but I'm not.
