Beating Dead Horses

This blog means not to minimize, trivialize, disrespect those who have suffered losses in lives and property but is criticizing those media shows that minimize, trivialize, and show disrespect for those who have suffered losses in property and lives by carrying the "news" coverage to extremes and ridiculousness. Day after day, night after night, for weeks and yes even months Anderson covers catastrophes, Nancy and Greta cover crimes, Bill sex offenders and Jackson; and it goes on and on. They do not serve the audience but in my opinion their own selves--hunting for TV media awards maybe? They are beating a dead horse to get it to go all the while their potential audience tunes out--at least I do. They seek comments and opinions from anyone it seems, for most of their guests have little knowledge on the subject, or have only their feelings to express.
Then there is the never ending "press conferences"; where the speakers congratulate everyone and then say they have little to give at this time, ask questions but we can't answer them because an investigation is on-going.
Then there is the never ending "view" of the catastrophe--like watching water boil. They all need to go back to school and learn how to find and present the news. For the most part it is uninformative, opinionated, boring, and non-newsworthy.
Larry King had a panel on the other night about the NSA eavesdropping affair--the one person who knew something was asked very few questions--questions which would have clarified and pointed to the culpability of the Bush Administration--his answers just acknowledged that, yes he "outed" the program to the media. The rest of the panel, aside from David Gergin, gave partisan opinions that didn't amount to much. So much for searching for the truth!
Lou Dobbs has, in my opinion, the best fact presenting show on television--it is timely, pertinent, non-partisan, and thorough. Keep up the good work Lou, no one else seems to be doing so.
