The morning news shows give me a brief snapshot of the world and local news first thing in the morning.
Today, one of the first news items went something like this:Â (this is a national TV show)
She:Â That’s about it from Iraq, Harry.
He:Â Over to you, SomeNewGirlReporter
She: “The WORD is that Donald Trump, who became famous by saying ‘You’re fired!’ on his HIT show The Apprentice, has fired his long time assistant and second in command, Carol SomethingorOther. Trump’s organization had NO COMMENT other than to wish Carol LastNameCan’tRecall the best in her new endeavors. Carol XXXXX also wished the Trump Organization the best too.”Â
Omarosa {She was the totally incompetent and obnoxious Apprentice who got fired.} then had this to say: “I could tell Carol was on her way out when Donald started bringing in his own children to sit next to him, so it was not a surprise to me.”
She: Back to you, Harry.

The best way to battle the “news”shows out there is to ignore them, keep putting out good content and focus on things you can control. The reason I used to watch the news was for weather and sports scores. I no longer wait for this information I go to the web and get it when I want it. The obsolete format of the nightly news will go away over time as the population ages. The question is whether or not people will either demand more objective reporting of news or news of substance, not the type of diamond dog collar Paris Hilton’s dog is wearing.
No kidding. My favorite example of this is the local big daily newspaper who now has a front page story weekly on HOW TO around the house. I am all for HOW TO articles…but theirs? It was a laugh out loud moment (LOL) to read their HOW TO STOCK YOUR PANTRY article followed the next week with HOW TO IRON. I sxxx you not. And they wonder why readership is dropping.
