MORE BAD NEWS AND BAD NEWS COVERAGE.

Not only is the evening news not news anymore, but now it's not even new nonnews. Tonight, August 9, the news on all three networks did some repetitive coverage of the tragic water slide death of a 10 year old—a sad, unnecessary story that wasn't national news in the first place. But now that they have found a depressing pet theme, they eagerly provided coverage of a Ferris wheel disaster in Tennessee, in which three young girls fell from a faulty car. Yeah, we really needed to know about this local tragedy. Except for California fires, most of the news was taken up with who-cares Olympic coverage. Being jingoistic the networks constantly promote the Olympics as an event that brings the world together. It is, in fact, just the opposite: a costly, arrogant, aggressive, elitist "My country's better than yours" pissing contest.

About Me
- The Cranky Copywriter
- I am a retired copywriter. For 40 years I wrote for major agencies and developed some campaigns you would know. Like most writers, I love to give my opinion, and since I am so familiar with advertising this is the area I chose to comment on. Actually I'm not that cranky. I am as fond of as many things as I detest. But since most people only hear what one doesn't like, I might as well go with cranky.For my other blog idleideasfactory I am putting out there things I have written and ideas for books, screenplays, stage plays, and even products that I will not have time in life to follow through on. If anyone can profit from them, be my guest.
