Apparently, what is considered news has really changed

Enough with this Tiger Woods stuff. I’m sick of it. If you did something like that, would you want the broadcast networks covering it? I didn’t think so.

Yes, ABC, CBS, and NBC all broke in today to carry Tiger Woods’ statement. Since when is the affairs of two people considered news? I know he is famous, but still, why is the affairs of one celebrity worthy of special report coverage the major broadcast networks. This stuff is not worthy of interrupting normal programming on the broadcast networks. ESPN yes, ABC no.

This also brings me to the point of what really is news these days. Should every facet of the lives celebrities be on the local news? I don’t think so. I would rather see the over hyping of weather than seeing updates on celebrities. Apparently, the powers that be think people want to know everything about what their favorite celebrity. Maybe I’m more of a traditionalist with news, but I don’t think that is news worthy.

People’s lives, if they are a celebrity or not, aren’t worthy of breaking in to normal programming.
