So, I've decided that I'm going to use our much loved, DVR to start recording the nightly world news. Then I will watch it while I drink my morning cuppa coffee, and Connor bounces on the forbidden sofa, which is the only thing I can do to keep him quiet if I'm watching TV. Welcome back to the world, Madam!
I can't stand to watch the local news. It drives me nuts. It's just so damn... reality show. It's so sensationalized and they use scare tactics to seduce a larger viewing audience and I just can't get behind that. The World News appears to be about the same, but on a grander scale. At least the things that they are sensationalizing affect the nation, and not just the community.
Now the community is important, but tonight's feature on Channel 3 local news was, how to tell where your significant other has been going on the internet. They are teaching viewers how to invade someone else's privacy. I guess they are hoping that some people will actually do this, domestic violence will occur and they can report it, creating more sensational news coverage... see how this works? It's like Starbucks putting heroin in the coffee so you always come back for more... now that's not really happened. But I do have my suspicions.
