Everybody Need Entertainemnt

As I'm watching Larry King, sitting on my couch, eating lays barbecue potato chips, I started to think about if I was born in the 60 would I still be watching this. Nothing this man was saying would be considered creditable. Everything now-a-days is intended to make you laugh, or have something to do with sex, violence or drug to get your attention. Why can't we just be able to watch the news and be told the absolute truth? If that's the case anybody on God’s green earth could be a news reporter or a journalist. There is a whole bunch of shouting and arguing and a he said she said. As I'm watching this, all I'm thinking about is love and hip hop! There are no more Walter Cronkite's in the world today! All we have is Larry King and Bill O'Reilly and Chris Matthews and so on. I believe that if we have more trust worthy people on television then I believe we will have more trust worthy people in society. On the other hand I think that if the news was just all facts and down to earth news and not sense of humor or violence related topics then these news shows would be boring and eventually would be taken off air. Things like SEX, DRUGS, VIOLENCE, MONEY, and HUMOR are what we as people are drawn too. So journalist today are looking for the next big thing that will get people to listen to them, whether or not it’s the truth or not, as long as it’s interesting. Being the audience of news shows I personally do not want to watch want people just bore me about facts, I want to see somebody fighting, or maybe sex related topics, even if it’s not the truth. Sometimes I just want to be entertained.

 

Do we really need reality television ....?

Personally I am in between on the argument on weather or not reality television is influencing society today. But I am leaning toward the side that says it is. Lets look at teen mom for instance. TEEN MOM. Look at the title! A whole shows about teenagers that are mothers.  Back in the old days, teenagers where not even thinking about sex, pregnancy was not even in the question.

But these days today's society, Teenage girls are looking to get pregnant. They think they are ready, and grown enough to have children. Mainly because they are looking at these shows and seeing that theses teenagers are getting so much fame, and screen time just by having a baby as a teenagers. So the message that today's teenage girls are getting is that its cool to have a baby while they are teens. It's could make them famous. NOOOOOOO!!! That should not be the case. If they are going to have a show about teenagers getting pregnant have it be showing all the struggles and encourage young girls to wait until they have their life in order and can support themselves and another human being .

I wish my daughter would even consider having a baby while she is in her teens, I would go to jail for child abuse! Reality television maybe a good source of entertainment but people today are taking it as real life. Its not! Its just people with big heads doing stuff they don't usually do, they are doing it for the cameras and the FAME! Lets take Love and Hip Hop for example, I can bet half of the people on there have never been in a fight their whole life, but once the cameras hit them, they turn into totally different people and wants to fight everything that walks. They act this way to be able to be on the next season. We need to start treating reality television like it really is, TELEVISION! NOT REAL LIFE!
