Disappointing 5oclock news

Well, I came home from work today and turned on the TV.  Almost time for the 5 oclock news.  I go check my mail and bring in the garbage cans.  Just in time I sit down and the news comes on.  To my disappointment what do I see on First on Fox but another bit about Michael Vick.  Not caring at all, knowing that hes definatly going to come away from this much better then I would, I decide to start dinner for my wife and my son.  Then a few minutes into the show comes the story about the NBA scandal.  No real news yet.  Then a news alert, finally some news about a dog attacking a boy.  Well that is something on the important side, hurray fox.  Then a story about Lindsey Lohan.   I acutally stopped watching the news because it became very apparent that nothing important must have happened today because all this crap was first on fox.  Someone tell me how Michael Vicks dogfighting, that we have been informed about everyday for that past 3 weeks, and Lindsey Lohan have anything to do with local importance?  Hopefully someone from Fox 13 will read this blog, but I very much doubt it.  Please come up with something important before bringing on all the crap.  If you can not find anything, brighthouse offers bay news 9.  They play the news all day long.  They arent that great but you could at least pull some imporant things from them before telling me yet again about Michael Vick.  It was very disappointing.  If someone from Fox 13 actually reads this please send a response.  I think all the viewers and I deserve an apology.

I'm sorry, but if you are waiting for the Mainstream Media (especially local) to cover real news stories, you will be waiting a long, long time. If you do happen to run across an important story, it will have been spun to the proper slant before print/broadcast.

Independent news blogs are the only places I've found that put up important, real stories. I guess that's where all the 'journalists' went? Cuz they sure ain't on tv. "Nothing to see here, move on...." is what's on the MSM.

It's been that way for a while now..... But, one does need to check the weather every day....

Yeah one does need to check the weather everyday, but how often is that correct?

Thank you Mikeyaintskerd, you are so right. It's very aggravating too on the Fox morning news before work. If by chance they mention a news story (between the garbage stories you mentioned) that you may be interested in, they say "stay tuned, coming up next". You wait for 3 minutes of the same commercials that are on every break and then no story ??? How many commercial breaks must you wait ? The commercial breaks are longer than the news breaks. Who is breaking from who ???? ...and no doubt, I miss the story I want to hear because there is so much garbage.
