Is it just me or has it been extremely hard to watch TV news lately? Let me count the ways:
Jacko
Martha Stewart’s pullover
Hillary
Dan Rather
And what the heck happened to CNN Headline News in the evening? I never really watched it much. But when I did, I expected to see, you know, news. Not another Court TV channel.
Whenever people talk about the network evening news broadcast ratings going down the toilet, they cite the availability of other news outlets–cable TV and the Internet–as a contributing factor. Up to this point, I’d been skeptical of the latter reason, since it’s usually more stimulating to watch video than read news articles online. But if TV news keeps this up I may soon be joining those who rely on the Internet as their primary news source.
UPDATE: Oh brother.
