We are all aware of the continuing drop in the quality of America's educational systems. so it is not a surprise that this reduction in quality includes journalism. But necessity is the mother of invention. with the advent of 24/7 news came the need for many more "so called journalist"

However the downside of all of this is that the definition of worthy news turns out to be "non-events" Journalists publishes these non events as news events, headlines, etc. With 24/7 news to fill ingenuity is required in stringing out the story to fill airtime.

As an example. some celebrity tweets. The news people immediately label it as inappropriate or an epiphany depending on their view of the celebrity.

The story would die there but for the follow up such as Why didn't the celebrity apologize?

He did apologize but was it quick enough?

he shouldn't have apologized?

What does x have to say about the celebrity's tweet?

And was celerity y offended ?

And did director z condemn then tweet?

Its the same with all of the sexual harassment charges. We have billions of people in the world engaged in sex and dominating the news are allegations of......

What happened to issues of substance taxes, foreign policy, economy

It would seem too many of these so called journalist graduated from the Kardashian School of Journalism

We all ought to be appalled because this once great nation is descending quickly into mediocrity and of its own choosing
