So what's your gripe then? CNN might just as well show monkeys playing tennis with fruit as any news if you are not watching. It's rather like me moaning about plot lines in Eastenders.
Why?
As to excessive drinking, I often thought a party with Lee Marvin, Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole and Michael Caine would be memorable in so many ways.
Nancy - One bus crash?!? Why doesn't the news mention all the buses that got safely to their destination?
Mark - Yes I suppose the news should really just be a dispassionate list of all the events that happen in the world. But then of course it would go on FOREVER.
Peep Show
No, more like the successful delivery of international aid to an impoverished country, the downfall of a genocidal dictator, or the survival of war ridden and natural disaster plagued area. You know, events that show humans can join together to face an equal and opposing force? I know your attempt at comedy (or lack thereof) with the bus statement was meant to be tongue in cheek, but I thought I'd share my idea of "good news" any way.
The words of Elliot Carver spring to mind- "There's no news like bad news".
In my honest opinion, I would rather watch the news than read the newspapers, but I find myself straying away from ITV news, which becomes ever more "ITVish", if you get what I mean. Tripe, basically.
Well like any information the onus is on you to seek out a variety of sources so you can make an informed judgement - although I would contend any source of news is better than just putting your head in the sand because there aren't enough feel good stories. The world's a grim place and just saying 'I wish they had more stories about cats being rescued from trees' isn't really going to change that.
Oh no, don't get me wrong. I read news articles on the internet, I watch BBC news etc. Of course not all news has to be good news. Its just that I dislike ITV for giving us the likes of the X factor and all the rest. I'm afraid that ITV news is becoming ever more stagnant. For example, the extensive news coverage of the Nigella Lawson trial.
Don't diss Peep Show. One of the funniest sitcoms I've ever seen and it also led to the creation of the funniest sketch show I've ever seen.

Oooh and that's a bad miss :))
Good one, Wes! :))
So, this can now be locked as it appears to have run it's course. :O)
