No News Is Good News

AITOOW dumbfounded that no one finds it odd that every newscast is almost exactly the same every night? The same stories (no matter how contrived or sensational) in the same order with the same video outtakes/backdrop. Maybe a dissimilar slice of life puff piece at the end. One that they are probably "synergizing" with a sister company. If I didn't know better, I would say that that one entity was producing all content and then packaging it for sale to whomever wants it. It's like a teacher getting twenty four reports on (let's see what they probably find historically important nowadays) Martin Luther King's heroic struggle for his own well being that were all cut and pasted from the same website. You would think alarm bells would go off. Are people just not watching the news any more? Are people not furiously changing channels in disgust? Why is nothing said about it. Forget fake news. How about uniform news? If there is no news overlord then they must be coordinating or stealing content from each other. Do they all have spies in each others news rooms or is this where a "coordinator in chief" enters into it?

And why is the media so obsessed with exploiting/cashing in on an event? They try and turn every short story into an epic novel. That or they beat it to death. Or there network does a "news magazine" story on it. Oh yeah. The answer is $. That and it requires less work. You can "sample/steal" pre-existing content.

I'm also of the opinion that they fabricate/make news. Especially protest "news". It isn't just "prodding" or selectively seeking or questioning or editing responses and behaviors. I really believe they foster/coordinate outrage (other than the outrage they foment on air) to create content. Content they find "interesting/salacious" and politically orthodox. That or they are on speed dial with the agitators. Whose organizations they and their people probably support.

And I'd like to end with a "ho hum" to fake news. We have fake everything else nowadays. so why not news? I mean is it fake news that Miss (Liberal) Universe has had a nose job (fake nose et al)? That is oddly potentially  real news of a "fake".
