News is not supposed to be entertaining.
Its supposed to be informative, of IMPORTANT things, that effect, oh you know.. like.. the world?

It bothers me how this Tiger Woods nonsense is still being talked about getting all this news media time, while the UN Climate Chance Conference in Copenhagen is barely mentioned. And the only mention of it is that our celebrity President is going there after he collects a few Nobel Peace Prizes.

These are world altering events and the news spends more time reporting on pop culture entertainment than anything else. Turn off your idiot boxes and save your life.
