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.
