I do. I mean, yeah, many things are quite serious topics and the public needs to be made aware of the seriousness. Agreed.
On the other hand, we've had eight Presidents die while in office, which is as bad as it gets I guess, and you know what? The nation kept on running.
Most people kept their jobs after those events, paid their bills on time, and their kids kept attending school. Maybe Washington D.C. was all a-kilter then, so they are on TV now yelling at us that they are all a-kilter! (which is beyond ironic because I can tell you for certain, when I have complained to MY representatives that This American Life is not treating me so great, or I can't find a job, or I can't afford the rent, or I can't afford a lawyer to help me right some wrongs, believe me, MY representatives don't give a darn about MY life being all a-kilter.)
Anyway, they are all upset now, so that's all the national news can dwell on: "Washington D.C. is UPSET! News at 11."
This is just one of those times when I cannot participate in imbibing much news media. It's gone way beyond what Cronkite or PBS would present and drifted into hysteria. I don't see how HYSTERIA is supposed to help or inform the American people.
