JHK, what happened was: first we went from print to electronic. Radio is a medium of propaganda (McLuhan's "tribal drum").
Skipping to another era, the TV era, CNN and then Fox happened. Suddenly there were 24 hours to fill, not fifteen minutes at six o'clock. Then websites were continuously updating and competing with one another and the news cycle went from a few weeks to three days to an hour.

Oh, and my point is, there is not enough "news" to fill 24 hours a day. So you have to pack it with bullshit, screaming, "commentary," "analysis" and crisis actors running toward the nightclub shooting rather than away from it.
Good points. Then record it and play it over and over again all day and night in the best propaganda style. Because we all need to be "informed," of course.
