News is the best drama on television because it's real.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
TV news is what you want it to be, and if you want it to be different, take a look at what you watch.
We take what's shown on television as the truth, and it isn't. News isn't even the truth on television. If you look up the definition of what news is, it isn't that what we're watching on the new - it's entertainment.
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
Truth is stranger than fiction, which is why reality TV is so popular.
I barely watch TV apart from the news. Most of it is rubbish. There's all this reality nonsense and dross. I think there's a market for a well-produced, well-written melodrama like 'Dallas.' It's pure entertainment.
But by showing us live coverage of every bad thing happening everywhere in the world, cable news makes life seem like it's just an endless string of disasters - when, for most people in most places today, life is fairly good.
I read the 'Times' and 'Post,' but I have nothing against the 'Daily News.' I also fish around the Internet for entertainment news but find most of what I read to be untrue or partially true.
That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment.
If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.
