News fails because they have made themselves irrelevant. Because they deal in half truths. News fails because they no longer inform objectively. Because they rarely follow up in depth reporting. They fail because they don’t care. They fail because news is corporate owned. They have failed, not because people no longer read, but because the news is no longer the watch dog of Democracy.
Mostly the news has failed because they deal in triviality, then claim it is because we demand it.
The news fails because other than a handle full of journalists, they are lazy, and incompetent, and spend their time fawning and obsequious to the very people they are supposed to watch.
I’m not sure which story is more deserving of the front page. The one about Stolen Groceries and/or murder, or the fact that some editor undoubtedly lost his job because he let something that big slide.
hey remember the time that chick said the news has failed because they deal in triviality like reporting homicides? and then she used obsequious in a sentence? oh the times we had…
