my only concern about this is where it will go. mtv went from a viewing house for up-and-comers to an exclusive club of big money players who use influence and greenbacks to make sure they have plenty of airtime.

who here wants "must see" news where the information imparted to their younger audience is only what their investors want them to see, news controlled even more than it is now. artificially making things "important" will create a whole new generation of idiots who only know what the tv tells them, but they'll feel like theyr're justified in thinking it this time because they got their information from a "news source." I appreciate news from unbiased sources like the bbc (there is nothing more informative than seeing yourself through the eyes of an outsider), i don't ever bother watching news that is sponsored in part by whomever wants you to pay up for their useless product the next time you're at your local uber-market.
