You'd never know we are about to enter another war, and a horrible disease is killing thousands of people in Africa.

I'm a mother of daughters. Believe me, I GET IT AND I CARE. But the non-stop coverage is ridiculous. I felt the same way about the Michael Brown coverage. And every other story that become the story du jour. Sun up to sun down and beyond. How about devoting just a third of the time to these incidents, and report on what is happening in our government and the rest of the world?

How about some real investigative journalism?
