The problem with the news is that it is not news... its just a grotesque display of the worst humanity has to offer. I don't watch the news.. ever. I never miss a important thing though, mainly due to the fact if it is important everyone is talking about it. All the other rapes, murders, molested children and all the other grotesque stories are nothing but garbage. How does knowing a kid got beat to death in another state help you? It doesn't, it entertains you in the sickest way. Lord I hate "the news". If you took the billions spent on reporting all the horrible things in life and put that money towards FIXING the problems and not just spend the money to broadcast it we would be much better off. We need to news to tell us about things our government is doing behind our backs and the real state of the world... not all this bullshit.
All this attention to a killer does absolutely nothing to help anything. Just a live action movie we can all enjoy for free. Its great, if you like hearing about kids being hurt and women being raped the news is the best form of entertainment you could want.
On a side note I have read little of this thread and this post is not a reply to anyone. So if this post seems to be argumenative to a post you made before, I assure you it is due to my ignorance of the previous posts. This is just my Thursday rant.
