You're being a little harsh, but essentially correct.
I worked at a newspaper for about five years, even wrote a weekly column for a couple. Lemme tell you, coming up with something interesting to say every week is really hard.
"CD sales are up a tick? Oh, something to write about, which incidentally is my job, thank god." That's it.
- iamdbtoo 4y agoThis is something that frustrates me about large news/content sites. So much of it reads like it was written because someone needed to write something and not because this particular thing needed to be said.
- Crabber 4y agoI realized a while ago that a good 90%+ of news stories are about a) things that affect my life in 0 way whatsoever and b) things that I have absolutely no control over. I thought, if something fits these two criteria then what exactly is the point in me spending time reading about it? So I no longer read the news.
