Technology.....what!??!!

I've been watching the News, well not local News but those popular News/Weather channels on cable. I've decided they are getting on my last nerve.......
You sit in your favorite chair, turn on the one eyed monster, the News blips on and what happens?
Reporter 1” Welcome to tonight's local live weather report in down town Detroit. In just a few I will tell you about record snow”
BAM the screen flips
Reporter 2 “I'm about to show you what 20 inches of snow in Charleston can do as soon as we return”
BAM the screen flips
Anchor” Yes that's right, we have snow, snow and more snow to talk about soon as we return”
BAM the screen flips showing you highlights of weather stats and 3 seconds of flip shots of different weathers in different states. To keep you glued to your seat.
Commercial breaks, after you get sick of the volume being raised on those bad boys the show returns and give you these short MTV type reports with the shake-o-cam and flip and triple split the screen so you really don't know where to point your attention to. A good 3 minutes of that and BAM back to commercial/s, the volume pops up for those once again and a return of previews of the news to come.
I'm thinking they have sucked themselves in the all-day dramas such as shootings or the latest Lohan gossip or heaven forbid we don't hear about the rare occurrence of snow (shocker) up north. Maybe they have forgotten how to sit down and actually give a good in-depth report about a newsworthy subject. My favorite "Lets all be quiet and listen to the celebration" No, how about we get up and get out there and get a report? Maybe chat it up with the locals.
Are we really that much of an ADHD society that we need this much brain stimulation while wanting to get the latest weather or news report? That we need the dancing bears and screen scrolls and tri-split screens to keep our attention.
To add to this in this day and age of "new technologies" we can send a man to the moon but can't get a clear video or voice across the world?


Well I guess the one option is to flip the channels or just go back to the newspaper......
