Right on Saxtron.
I also blame 24/7 news coverage. They started reporting more fluff than news. Then the local guys expanded their coverage from 30 mins to an hour to 3 or 4 hours each evening. There isn't that much news out there folks. For the time they devote to it, we should get more than the same sound bite every 5 minutes. I try to watch the PBS news, which is almost too indepth. But with the exepection of weather I get 90% of my news off the net. Thank you Fark.

On a side note there was a great article last week about what share that dead texas stripper was getting on each type of news outlet. And over 50% of the cable news programs were devoted to her. But less than 10% of the newspaper. So pick up a paper and feed you brain.
