Because news as a form of information has long since died out. It made as tiny little comeback from the yellow journalism of the early 20th cent. but it's all back to that now. There is no "news" only entertainment, and this is the modern version of a public execution.
And because journalists assumes that freedom of speech somehow means they have the right to show whatever they want morality and consequences and human decency be damned.
And because journalists must have a different definition of the word "integrity" *sigh*
Really, what I think is a huge issue is the news no longer wants to report that want to dictate. They want to tell people what to think about issues, hence all the pundits and such constening babeling on the news shows. It might not be so bad if they were looking at big pictures like why in America the youth culture is such that someone *can* do what the shooter did.
But instead, they're just gonna look at why that specific shooter did what he did and blame whatever they have a personal beef against, so really all the "analyzation" passed off a news is utlimately empty and useless and only an excuse for exploitation and titliation. >_<
Or at least that's how I've begun to feel these days. I remember trying to figure out how to cote this last election, and I finale gave up with "news" to figure the canidates out and jsut went straight for the congressional records and started reading the speeches the canidates actually made and that was *WAY* more informative.
