You're mouth is moving, yet I can't hear a word you're saying

I thought the video clips we watched in class were hilarious. They were your typical Saturday Night Live spoof, that we have all come to know and love. However, what was sorta unfunny was how close they were to the truth. I am someone whose interested in going into news broadcasting, but I'm not someone who interested in regergitating facts ever night. I think TV networks should take the public more seriously, and try to engage our intelligence. People want to know what is going on in the world, well at least I hope they do. So why are they feeding us info, as if we're to slow to comprehend it. Now to be fair, a part of it is the publics fault. Would they constantly be running stories on Britney Spears and Paris Hilton if we didn't demand it? Most likely not.

for your entertainment
