When Did Entertainment News Become the #1 Headline for All News Networks?Is it just me, or are there others that agree, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are not big news? Why oh why do they make news headlines? Also, is “Dancing with the Stars” something that is so pressing for me to know and understand that I need to see
it as I drag myself out of bed and turn on the television each morning just wanting to see the news?I’ve tried different networks for the news and still I find the entertainment world topping each of them. Please don’t misunderstand; I enjoy entertainment as much as the next person. I simply don’t believe it needs to be the top story of the day on every single network. Somehow, I can’t find myself worrying about whether a wedding took place in Italy or Austria, unless of course it were my own or that of a dear friend or family member. I can’t seem to make myself care who designed their clothes. I change the channel again and again and still I see the same things. When will they design a channel that covers news? I want real news. I want news that makes a difference in my day. I want news that helps me understand my world. I can’t even keep up with all of the scrolling and stock markets and sports scores on the same screen. I get so confused at this world of multi-tasking that my head aches before I can even begin to make sense of much of it. Try as I might, I always tend to miss exactly what I was waiting for, whatever it may be. Luckily, we can now rewind live TV. Of course, when I get to what I finally wanted to hear, it says nothing more than, “more on that story in the next half hour”. My thought immediately after hearing that is, “My goodness, I have to be at work in the next half hour”. I just wish I could find a news network that didn’t feel entertainment news needs to top the list. Again, I’m not saying anything against entertainment news. If that’s what you wish to hear, you’re in luck. It’s everywhere!
