The news media...especially the TV news...has become little more than a "business" whose primary purpose is to make money. The cable news networks have become little more than a venue for the "talking heads" to spout their various political agenda's. This past Winter, I timed the network evening news...ABC, NBC, CBS, and on average they gave 17 minutes of news, and 13 minutes of commercials...mostly that Ask your Doctor Crap. Then, there are those who rely on Facebook and Twitter for their news....it's no wonder that so many of our people are losing touch with reality.
