What's up with the news?

Don't you remember when the news gave you the news? With today's 24 hour cycle they put all kinds of junk on there now. And what happened to professionalism? I guess you can redefine professional as culture dictates. What's all of this talking to crew off camera and joking around when you should be giving us the weather? When I lived in SOCAL back in 2000 I picked up the LA show "Good Day LA." That's when I first saw the randomness of modern morning news. I don't know. I have a sense of humor. Trust me. But I get aggrivated with spots on absolutley nothing when so much "real" stuff is happening in the world. I really don't care about what's going on in Richard Simmons life or what fight Sharon Osborne got into. Please just give me the news. Just a rant.
