SOMETIMES YOU DON’T WIN!

Network TV News is nothing but sensationalism and hyperbole. It tries to draw you in to listening, it makes up outlandish statements to entice you, and it is just is downright stupid,

FURINSTANCE:

The CBS Evening News made a statement that went something like this:

“UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES DROP, AND WHY THAT MAY NOT BE SUCH A GOOD THING!”

Now I ask you, why is it not such a good thing? Some guy or gal is going back to work to feed his/her family, not such a good thing? Some single Mom who is struggling to make ends meet gets a job she desperately needs, and it is not maybe such a good thing!

Why is the person who thought up this story still working? Shouldn’t HE or SHE be on the unemployment lines instead?

There was no story to speak of, it was a stupid come-on that the network devises to make people think they are crazy, but CBS News will make them better with their reasoning. So folks, don’t go away. We have other come-ons too, like how a cancer free body may not be such a great thing, or quiting smoking may not be so healthy after all.

The networks stopped reporting the news long ago, in their quest to achieve network dominance. They resort to dumb weathermen that think their job is to entertain me, or scare me to death with impending doom forecasts.

“THIS IS A WEATHER ALERT FROM THE CBS NEWS ROOM: SPRINKLES ARE PREDICTED FOR PARTS OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NASSAU AND RICHMOND VIRGINIA… STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER DETAILS.”

And so everyone should keep their TV tuned to CBS News. Be it NBC, ABC or CBS, it is all the same.

Give me some damned news I can use, and stop the hype already!
