Is there ever any good news on TV?

The past few days I’ve been sitting on what we call Ready Reserve at American Airlines. We basically sit around, waiting to see if we’ll get called out for a trip because someone called in sick, or couldn’t make it due to certain situations. So, they would either call a “Standby” flight attendant who is sitting at the airport ‘standing by’ to be called out for a trip, or, if there is sufficient time, they will call someone who is sitting on ready reserve.
Anyway, the only thing that is somewhat decent to watch on television during the day is the news. However, I’m just getting tired of watching it because when something is “breaking”, they tend to report the most bogus things, or will ask the most stupid questions. (no, not stupidly, just plain stupid)
I would like to just strangle that Nancy Grace in the way that she squeals on her show. I think Boston Legal did an outstanding job showcasing her by their Gracie Jane look alike of Nancy Grace. Sure, these reporters have every right to voice their opinions, but that’s just it..an Opinion. It’s not LAW, it’s not regulation, it’s an opinion. I doubt she would ever admit that she was wrong in her judgements of people.
You know it’s a slow news day when news stations are reporting how President Obama used the word “Stupidly” regarding how that police officer reacting to the Professor trying to get into his house. OMG, you would have thought that murder was sprayed all over the place. EVERY. SINGLE. NEWS agency reported on this slip. Per the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “Stupidly” is an adverb. So what’s the big deal? That a President called someone stupid? OMG, the world is going to end!
I also love during news conferences, different people ask the same questions over and over. One reporter will ask a question...it’s answered. Someone else will ask the same question, but word it different....it’s answered. Another reporter will ask the same question that the first two asked...but will word it differently again. By this time, the person doing the conference gets annoyed and reminds everyone to listen to other people’s questions...yours may be answered!!! Didn’t we learn this in Elementary School?
