Do you think the state of popular media news broadcasts can be described as "McNews"?

Question

Popular web pages e.g. Yahoo! seem to be quite "fluffy" when it comes to information about the world. Agree or disagree?

Answer 1

Perhaps USA Today was a pioneer in this concept w pretty pictures & graphs taking more prevalence than written word, not that pictures or graphs by themselves are a bad thing necessarily.

You are on to something here as too many folks want just a little soundbite, (kind of like our candidates give) & can't be bothered to digest anything too in depth as their world doesn't have time or need for any more than a Mc Blurb of some form.
