Oct 30

Stopped watching when the news started becoming more like entertainment tonight: sound bites with little if any follow up, commercial breaks that were longer than the news bites, and expanded sports that lasted longer than the rest (not sports fan, so having a sports segment that was 10-15 minutes long was a sign of the local news going downhill fast).
Worse, most of the shows were those idiotic, scripted, badly edited "reality" shows.
Not sure i will go back. I prefer to make handcrafted cards or read anyway.
