news

I am a self admitted news junkie. No I am not going to check myself into some 12 step program to break my addiction. I have to know what is going on in the world. I do not ever think that my knowing will change any of the crap that goes on. The only thing that does get changed (sometimes) is how I view an issue. Michael jackson's funeral, in mty opinipon was over covered. I suppose that the ratings for the news outlets went up so the bottom lines got a bit of a bump. I do worry that newspapers will succumb to the tv and both will eventually somehow meet their demise at the door of the dot com realm. Doing the New York Times crossword is somehow less on the computer screen. At 75 cents a pop, newspapers are getting more expensive - Like beer cheaper than coke.
