    Survivor is a story that is covered on the LOCAL NEWS!!! Every weeek they give updates on what happened on survivor on the news. Is that what "credible" Journalism is supposed to be?

    well one one side it's about time they showed something other than murder, but on the other hand I sure they could find something to report of better value than to n update of a reality show. (but, i'm a bit biased cause i'm a little tired of reality tv)

    This is why I play Ea Sports Fight Night Round 2 instead of watch TV.

    I think that's beside the point.

    The point is, "what happened on 'Survivor' " (a stupid-ass show if ever there was one) is NOT part of the NEWS. Not in the traditional sense of "the News."

    I think it shows the degeneracy of the media today. You've heard of stuff like, "If it bleeds, it leads," where news coverage is concerned? Nowadays, it's, "If we can figure out a way to make money off of it, we'll 'report' it."

    It's fuckin' pathetic, in my book.

    Start watching the BBC World News if you want to be informed... Watch local news for entertainment... And read the front page of the local paper for local information

    I can't stand how they have entertianment/ celebrity gossip as news stories. A while ago the whole Brad Pitt/ jennifer Aniston break up was the headline. Sick and sad.
