I hate watching the news

My parents watch Fox News everyday. Over the summer, when I stayed with my parents, I'd turn on the TV and Fox News was always one. Sometimes I'd come downstairs to see my parents watching Fox News. I sit there for about ten minutes and then I have to physically leave because I'm getting sick over what I'm watching. In order to make this as structured as possible, I'm going to make a list as to why the news sucks.

1) They never answer questions: "Tell us, do you believe that Obama's CARS program is a good idea?" "Well I think that Obama had the right intention blah blah blah blah blah". In watching the news, I've never, and I mean NEVER EVER, heard a question answered with a yes or a no. Instead, you get this long as explanation on the subject which never takes a side! They dance around the question and it's never answered! Because I hardly watch the news, I don't know if what I say applies to everyone on the news. Hell, some people may be more than willing to take a side. But it's a majority and it's bullshit. I don't see this shit as much on ESPN or G4, so why the hell should I see it with the news?

2) Way too much coverage: If there is one thing that the news is good with, it's beating a dead horse with a stick. When Chris Benoit killed his family, I saw the news reports give like a five second explanation on what happened then they will interview everyone! "Joining us is some random psychiatrist you never heard of, Dr. Nutlicker. Dr. Nutlicker, why do you think he did this?" Take that but x10. Did he do it because of the roid rage? If so, who is responsible? What will happen to that person responsible? How will this affect the world when that person responsible is found. ARRRGH!

3) They talk about shit that doesn't matter Sometimes I'll see the news get in to a discussion about celebrities and their relationships.....WTF?! I get enough of that shit from having to look at tabloids at my work. But seriously, this? Are you so short on material that you have to stoop to this level? Nobody cares about why the hell Je Aniston nnifer got dumped for the fiftieth time and if you do then you need to be shot.
