9.52 - Sitting at my desk watching 'The Morning Show', some horrible report on "bride-zillas". Is that really the best they can do for morning entertainment? This makes me think... The quality of news stories is declining rapidly. Do we really care about feuding bogan neighbors and Suri Cruise wearing tiny baby high heels??
It shocked me to hear that a few days ago the three major news programs' headline story was the Bingle/Clarkey saga, ahead of a story about a six year old girl who stepped on a syringe at the beach & her parents now have to wait six months to find out if she has AIDS. But apparently the relationship status of some sports star and his over exposed girlfriend is more important than the safety of our countries beaches.
The part about these Bingle/Clarkey fluff up's that annoys me the most is that the reports aren't even confirmed!! Wait till you have a real story before chucking some rumor in our faces. Good quality reporting seems to be disappearing as quickly as Bingle's engagement ring. Reporters lack commitment to their duties and rather than doing some real research, spit out a bunch of media releases and hear-say.
The HR departments of our major news stations seem to be looking for a pretty face and a sense of humor rather than qualifications and dedication to presenting a good quality story to the public.
