Years ago, the nightly news at 6:30 on all three networks was news coverage interrupted by a few minutes of commercials. Today it's commercials interrupted by a few minutes of news. Which is annoying as hell. But what's even more annoying is that news is no longer news. Surely something more happened in the world than the opening or a
Star Wars film, a new version of Adele's latest song,
the introduction of a new Oreo flavor, or even Bill Cosby's latest accuser. Now all we get are brief clips that includes partial stories, insignificant data, and quotes from irrelevant celebrities. All with a single purpose: to fill time until the next long string of commercials for cars and pharmaceuticals. And what's saddest of all is no one seems to notice or complain.
