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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
TV news is what you want it to be, and if you want it to be different, take a look at what you watch.
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
Truth is stranger than fiction, which is why reality TV is so popular.
Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.
The media has changed. We now give broadcast licenses to philosophies instead of people. People get confused and think there is no difference between news and entertainment. People who project themselves as journalists on television don't know the first thing about journalism. They are just there stirring up a hockey game.
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.
News, by and large, has been the purest of all the television mediums, or at least we've tried to keep it that way, and there constantly is the argument about the separation between church and state.
News is the best drama on television because it's real.
