ReadViewThink – January 12, 2020
NOTE: Friday night storms caused electrical outage, so didn’t publish this blog post yesterday. The post below was compiled and written on the 10th.
I don’t know about you, but the gargantuan amount of news covering the impeachment fiasco, the tragic plane crash in Iran, and the family affairs of U.K.’s royalty is all marmalade souring to me. Not that all aren’t important topics, but it urks me how journalists change the slant of each, seemingly forever and a day, just to fodder daily news articles for media outlets.
Is there a contest to keep one topic in the news for the longest period of time? Do editors not get tired of reading rehashed material? Why is so much of the smorgasbord published? Are there really that many news consumers wanting to read and reread the refreshed and recycled crap every freaking day?
Anyhoo, thank gosh for writers presenting other news, attracting my clicks and views. You’re my heroes!
