 It seems like we get only a very few news stories at a time and they suck all the oxygen out on all the other stories. Compare CNN and MSNBC against BBC for example, where you get many more national and international stories. We are distracted with the big stories, the most shocking disturbing stories, but we don't get the others, even though they may also be very important. Can we be fully informed this way? Doubtful. We need more news, more stories and fewer commercials of course. You can get much more news from the print press media, like the New York Times and the Post. It seems clear that most of the cable networks are not keeping us current, and that their viewers are losing ground for that failure. It's time for the American public to consume news from more and better sources.
