I think some of you should read Flat Earth News by Nick Davis.

You might start to appreciate just how the gathering of everyday news has been cheapened by the cut throat press barons who demand high turnover and churn at the expense of actually ethically sourcing the news.
This is the reason why every newspaper and news channel and radio news has exactly the damned same news stories.They basically all go to the same flawed sources where cutting costs is the motto rather than getting the news.At least the BBC has had the financial ability to try and source news ethically.That is up until Murdoch putting his size 9s all over influencing the present government over the cuts to the BBC's funding.
