I love how CNN says "The world watched in horror", while I didn't waste a second of my day on this. Don't care. Sorry.
In the words of the immortal Mr. T. "I ain't got time for no jibba jabba!"
My sister in law didn't appreciate what I said about that. But honestly, this kind of thing is local and regional news material. Amber alert shouldn't be reported on CNN, only thing CNN should report is what country is making threats to U.S. Someone in Florida, or Alaska doesn't neccassarily need to know what going on in Colorado, this news could overshadow a current Amber Alert in their local area. Just my 2 cent.
How is it someone in my area with Amber Alert is stuck on local and regional news, but a balloon floating in air with believed to be a missing kid inside of the balloon makes world wide news? Seriously? :
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the kid is safe and all, but it shouldn't have been on CNN is all I'm saying.
Totally agree. I used to work for a network news station, and I can tell you the "news" is all about hype and sensationalism. It's NOT about accurate reporting or "news". They prioritize stories based on retaining viewers.
Case-in-point: watch your local news and count how many times they say the word "local", "neighborhood", or "neighbors"; or take a national story and put some sort of "local" twist on it to seemingly make it relevant to your area. That's an effort to make it sound more important to you, so you'll keep watching. Take those words or twists out, and you'll see how useless most of those stories are.
