I was grossly unclear there, and for that I apologize. I meant the generic "you the viewer," not YOU specifically. Unfortunately, most viewers aren't as enlightened as you are, and they DO watch that crap.


Again, it's going to depend on the news event. We don't make as much money off of big news as you think. We can't charge any more for advertising - it's not like the advertisers give a damn WHAT we're showing, just how many eyeballs we pull in. Big news requires lots of setup, special equipment, and often rentals. We make quite a bit more money doing those bullshit health stories, or those craptacular "it's warm out today!" stories than we make when we have to cover something big.

I'm cool with you "mouthing off" as you said (I don't think of it that way) on whatever you want, but if I see something inaccurate, I will step in and point it out. An opinion formed on faulty facts is not a good opinion.
