Why 24 hour news stations are not news but entertainment.

Ok, this is quick. I was just flipping through the channels and saw that the President was on. As usual I then switch between channels to see if there are better angles or coverage. Of the 4 big 24 hour news channels only two (CNN and Fox News also C-SPAN but it is not news) had the president on. This is a live speech by Bush about Katrina and New Orleans, the most damaging storm in US history on the one anniversary. the other two channels? (CNN Headline news and MSNBC) well they were reporting on the Jonbenet Ramsey case, which the guy they just talked about for a week is found to not have done it. well that certainly seems more important. A case that is 10 years old and still not solved. Go news!!!



laters,
Erik
