Pervert of the Day
24 hour news networks are reaching to fill their coverage. Scott Peterson, runaway brides, the vaseline card in the Jacko case...
Isn't there demand out there for actual news, maybe from a legitimate (and named) primary source or two? The problem with the internet is its vastness. There are too many sites and resources to dig through. A lot of information is bogus. The blending of opinion into news is not restricted to one medium. It is a pervasive trend that subjugates reality in the interest of entertainment.
Because the internet is constantly expanding, it is imperative that surfers be able to sift through the garbage and find reliable and truthful accounts of world events. As British Boy so aptly described in his account of coverage in the DailyKos, the Bloggers who fancy themselves watchdogs of the MSM may be a fox in sheep's clothing.
