Soft News
Why is Tiger Woods the highlight of most major networks this morning? He crashed his car at 3 am, so what? Shouldn't the news surround things like Obama's war plan that he will be announcing later on in the week. Or what about Copenhagen? Another thing that would be newsworthy is the amount of runoff elections around the nation and how important it is to vote. Who cares if Tiger Woods has a DUI, or if his wife caused him to crash, that is none of our business. This is nothing but soft news and belongs on the E channel, not on CNN. The amount of soft news is ridiculous and I wish news networks would stick to the news!

Dear Fair and Balanced,
ReplyDeleteAlthough this may seem insignificant to you Tiger Woods is the most popular athlete in golf today, not to mention he grossed over 100 million last year in endorsements, therefore if a role model crashes his car at 2 in the morning thanksgiving night I would say it deserves a closer anlysis.
Or would you prefer that talking heads speculate 24 hours a day about what Obama may or may not have the balls to say. The bottom line is if people were not interested there would be no place for this subject in television. Just because it doesn't involve politics doesn't mean its not news worty.
