I watch very little network news for the reasons stated. It seems to be more entertainment than news. I read a daily paper for my news.

Too many stations, too little news. I love the way Fox goes "around the world in 80 seconds." Talk about egocentric! It's wonderful to have options to the bias of the network news programs, but really important stuff does not occur 24/7! And, a lot of really important stuff won't fit nicely into a bubble-headed bleach blondes 60 second sound bite presentation.
