News Channels

I have grown really tired of the 24 hour news channels. It is no longer about news, it has become about filling time. They have also done away with reporters. They just have a person browsing through twitter and various blogs and present that.

They take a small story and present it using multi touch screens and colored graphs. A 2 minute piece just became a 30 minute program. Or they assemble a "panel of experts" and discuss it for hours together.

The local news on broadcast networks are better but only because they are on for a short time. Their news content is insubstantial.i say give me a 30 minute news program, with major stories from all around the world without any discussions.
