Many years ago, I was in the habit of sitting on the couch after dinner to watch the TV news. I had been getting a little frustrated that it was more and more about ratings than news. One night I was watching and they were showing a high speed chase. Okay fine, but then I realized it happened in Ohio and I'm in California. Nothing especially amazing happened - how was it news? Oh, because they had a cool video.

That was the last time. I shut off the TV and went to the computer to read AP, Reuters, NPR, and/or Google News, and I've never looked back.
