Today's TV News has been hijacked by incompetent talking weenies masquerading as journalists. The decline was determined when entertainment was merged with news and the word "Infotainment" was invented. The reason CBS stands out as a journalistic train wreck is because the bar was set so high by Edward R. Murrow and his "boys". The betrayal is industry wide with CBS following in the dirty footprints of NBC and ABC. The truth is available to those who have the time, the ability and the resources to look for it. Most people are either too busy or too lazy to uncover the truth so they believe the BS they are being fed by bird brains and they vote accordingly. That's how we end up with such losers in public office.
