Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
People can get their news any way they want. What I love about what's happened is that there are so many different avenues, there are so many different outlets, so many different ways to debate and discuss and to inquire about any given news story.
I do know something about the news world. I was sitting on the floors of newsrooms since I was seven years old, and I've been around them my whole life. I understand that someone looks at a story with famous people in it, and you want to put it out.
In most cases, the news is not really news. But in some cases, discoveries are made and should be listened to.
I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio.
TV news is what you want it to be, and if you want it to be different, take a look at what you watch.

The idea of changing and fixing the problem of how news is presented on the Internet has been recognized for a long time.
There is always sleaze in the news. And you know what? The news is always a combination of things that are interesting and things that are important.
So much of journalism is conveying a place and time that existed, to someone at a later date: giving a person the context and trying to make them feel as informed as if they were actually there.
