What?

Why do journalists and in particular those who sensationalise stories always do stories that state the bleeding obvious? Take for example the age old favourite "celebrity drug addict" IN (drumroll please) "caught with drugs shocker". What is news about that, and more to the point who cares? And let us not forget the run of the mill "hottest/coldest/wettest/driest day of the year, it's not that difficult to find news is it?

I've developed a love hate relationship with news and I'm never sure what is winning at any given moment of the day.

The first thing that needs to be done is to reduce all news broadcasts to 5 minutes per day on every station. Maybe then everyone will shut their trap, newspaper circulation will rise, and they'll have price wars like they did in the 1990s. The FREE Times, what an idea that was.

Yes, this would work, but can it wait until I retire?
