Stunningly true, although the time scale has increased. What we get these days via TV and print is gossip that parades as news. I turn to the web to get actual news and for this I visit websites of the news dailies in important countries.

US news outfits right from the 90s were and are pathetic. TV news is even worse. I don't need a shouting match and opinion shows which report bias as news.

Sorry for the rant below but yeah, I'm talking to you Faux News!

The BBC seems to be better, at least their anchors don't engage in pretended joviality with each other and their audience. I think the news shows should ask the anchors to stop their banter and read off the teleprompter but for the time when they are interviewing guests. I don't need to know whether you had a burst tyre or had to shovel snow to get to work. Just give me the news and get off of the screen.
