Dude, sometimes news programs try too hard to be entertaining. Earlier tonight my friend Corey and I were watching the news on FOX, because we figured we would pay attention to it, or at least take it seriously. But how can we take it seriously if the program is not meant to be taken seriously?
So right before they were going to a commercial break they said what was coming up and brought up some video and mentioned a car that almost hit an officer, I forgot if it was Highway Patrol, Sheriff, etc. But then right before they left they said,
"We'll tell you if he made it."
I was like, what the hell? Are you serious? I mean seriously, are you kidding me? And I know it wasn't me, because my friend agreed that it was ridiculous.
I mean, I know that he obviously made it, because there is no way that they would say that if he didn't. But I mean, why are they trying to turn the news into a drama?
This also reminded me of the interview that Jerry and I saw of Jim Cramer by Jon Stewart. Stewart was telling Cramer that entertainment should be second to what is actually going on. By the way, this is a great interview, and you should watch it if you haven't already.
I totally agreed with most of what Jon Stewart had to say, and I guess that maybe we just shouldn't take anything that we see on TV seriously...
