Disgusted with the media

I'm thoroughly fed up with the media, and this evening, especially with television news. We have an entire world of important stories and issues and what do they spend hours and hours on? Again? Serena Williams and someone else's outbursts on the tennis court. Congressman Wilson's outburst during Obama's health care speech. And several other rude bloopers. On and on about apologies, and what should be done, and censures, fines, etc. This is ridiculous tempest-in-a-teapot journalism. Not one of these incidents is worth spending more than two minutes on. Instead, we are subjected to endless "reports" and discussions about them instead of anything actually important or substantive. Same with the death of Michael Jackson.

Come on people, get on with it. REPORT on something worth caring about and worth educating us about.
