I've watched the Wolf Blitzer interview of Cheney (not one of my favorite people) and cannot believe that the question concerning his daughter and her pregnancy was even asked. This is irrellevant and trivial when compared to other subjects discussed and is so personal a matter that it is almost blatant harassment of Cheney by Blitzer, IMO. What disturbs me most is that this is a trend in our news services. The 'question' is now being exhaustively reviewed and critiqued on many TV channels. We get more fluff, like who's divorcing whom, or who's not wearing panties in some crotch shot from Hollywood and who's blowing coke that there isn't time enough left for real news analysis. Is anyone else as tired of this as I am? Does anyone else consider not allowing their children to watch the news? Does anyone else want to see 'hard' news and have quality analysis of it like I do? Maybe I'm alone? Please comment about how you feel about this.

I quit watching the news in 1995 for those very same reasons. All the news agencies compile the largest load of negative crap they can and cram it into a 30 minute time slot. Any positive news stories or "hard" news I watch comes from 60 minutes. They seem to treat the news like the way it should be.

Though journalists may ask personal questions sometimes, those questions are sometimes totally irrelevant.

i think the news service is watermelon flavored, other people say it's lime, but banana is also cool
