End of Month Special

Once again, one news story has usurped all of the newscasters' reporting. First it was the Boston Marathon bombing, then it was the Texas explosion, now it's back to investigation of the bombing.

I'm pretty sure there are other important stories going uncovered right now: Like the helium shortage, a cybersecurity bill passing in the House, and the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare") going into effect.

Why must I work so hard to get real news?

Now that the accused daughter-murderer has been found "not guilty," is our (two-week) long nightmare news outage over?

I wonder what else has been happening in the world that the media has refused to cover for the last fortnight to ensure us uninterrupted coverage of the trial.

The decline of legitimate news reporting

I am reluctantly posting a link to a talk show host about whom I feel only lukewarm because of one magnificent monologue that hit the spot with me. Please listen to the rant, starting about two minutes in, and, if you and I have anything in common, feel satisfied. Give it 5-10 minutes and try to ignore the idiotic name-calling, lame rimshot jokes and major liberal bent. It'll be worth it.

Thank you, Norman Goldman, for succinctly explaining why any coverage of Donald Trump is an abandonment of decent journalism. I wish I had said it as well.
