I don't watch the news

But when the national news media swarm on Utah, it puts or local news guys in a Particularly Frothy Rabid Lather. Somehow they all think they are Dan Rather suddenly, and prove it by talking in nonsense sentences(maybe they do this all the time, but it's only now that I pay any attention). All of this Lead to charming sentences like this.

"Seismic event at time of collapse"(Ya, a mine collapse is a seismic event, moron. it's like saying "increased humidity at time of Flood."

Also, that the origin of the seismic event was disputed..... See, every thing is "Disputed", the key is that just cause some asshole is trying to get out of his liability, doesn't mean there is any dispute.

Then this morning, " If miners found alive, they may be able to be rescued."

The information provided by local news is so useful.

*update, this is still going on, why isn't the story "mine executives try to blame collaps on earthquake." Continued idiotic adherence to ridiculous claim, show massive copability on the part of the mine.

I agree. Useless. And misleading. But it's hard not to watch isn't it? I was thinking about trying to find an alternative news provider that would be more real and honest, but NPR is all I could think of.
