37. These 24/7 news channels aren't interested in reporting news
They're interested in making news. To simply report Obama winning, which he is, by yards instead of inches is far too cut and dry. And it doesn't really stir the pot and keep people sitting on the edge of their seat. Morning Joe, Wolf Blitzer, et al, are in the business of fabricating concern and raising doubt so we can remain interested and 'informed'. If they spout off enough 'what if' hypothetical questions and bring on a gazillion panel guests with thousands of different points of view, we might just tune in tomorrow to have all our fears put to rest. We've regressed as a society from having the news reported to an addiction of reality television based on current events.

It's complete bullshit.
