The "news" is nothing buy sensationalist fear mongering. There is no investigative journalism anymore, look at 60 minutes, they're so eager to get a story they'll put anything on the air without fact checking, and most stories are simply shilling for a book that's coming out from their publishing business. CNBC will have stories all day every day blatently making up stories to explain the day's market movements. Panels with 5 people arguing why the market is going to crash. Don't even get me started about FOX, they're not even worth mentioning as a legitimate source, and their motto of "fair and balanced" is laughable.
I'm totally convinced that the next generation of "news" will be crowd sourced, truly independent, impossible to control by government or special interest regardless of how much money they have. The more information people in the world have, the better, and that's coming more from twitter than tv.

You hit everything on the head. News on TV is a complete joke.
I think the govt here in the USA will monitor the internet & the internet will become like TV one day where everything is filtered to their liking.
We already know agencies use Google & Facebook to monitor people.
Did you ever see the movie "Black Sunday" about terrorists placing bombs in a football stadium that hosted the 1977 Superbowl between Dallas & Pittsburgh?
Good movie for that time & I guess with all the craziness in the 60's & 70's, it was possible but not as much as when we look at today's scenarios & technologies.
If something happened at a sporting event today, it would be disastrous.
