I usually like watching the news but lately its been like reading the National Enquirer.
I don't want to hear about Brittany Spears, OJ Simpson or the Emmys on a prime time news program. There are so many compelling things going on in the world that are newsworthy that are not being reported on. I'm lucky that I'm so close to Canada that I can switch on the CBC and hear about things north of the border that are truly interesting. I sometimes watch Asian news programs with subtitles to find out whats happening in the Pacific Rim.
Did you know that the first time in memory that the Northern Passage shipping lane did NOT freeze over this year? Canada controls the Northern Passage and now has to restrict shipping for fear of an
oil spill. Thank you for that info Canada, because it informs me about global warming and its affect on international business.
I blame Rupert Murdoch for turning network news into an episode of Entertainment Tonight. That Aussie moron is gonna be trouble. Now that he owns the Wall Street Journal, don't be surprised to see pictures of Lindsey Lohan's ankle tattoo on the front page.
