    We may or may not be talking bout the same thing, but I've gotten fed up with what's considered "newsworthy" these days.
    Case in point: A female monkey unable to get it's male companion to impregnate it goes into a depression, and mimics the humans smoking cigarettes who are watching it.
    Said monkey mimics them, gathers a spent cigarette from the ground and pretends to smoke.
    Somehow she gets a real one and gets it lit and really enjoys smoking. End.

    Interesting, but NOT NEWSWORTHY for CNN. There are more important things to report on.

    My local NBC channel, NBC5, and a host of other NBC affiliated sites are just turning into the dregs of news reporting.
    The popular way for them to present stories now is to use a slideshow format with some of the graniest, poor composition photos you've ever seen. They are often stills of video and just awful.
    They just paste the report beneath, a few sentances on each slide.
    I'm so sick of it.
