Local News? Nothing's New!



Each time I watch the local news, nothing's new or even new news for that matter. In fact, mostly all of it is bad, bad, bad news and I'm sick of it. I know I'm not alone in this, but this is MY blog so I can complain if I want to.

To top it all off, they put groomed men and perky women on TV to deliver this not-new-news; that's really all-bad-news. Here's an idea, if all the new news is going to be bad all day, why not just put the frumpy camera guy or fat makeup woman on the screen to deliver the all-bad-news?

Here were top stories today on my local new news:
  • Chelsey Clinton visits Vera Wang for her upcoming $3 million dollar wedding (Roanoke police pay more for early patrols!)
  • Roanoke opens food shelter, Police cancel annual ball.
  • Gangs are now killing each other within their own gangs.
  • $300 Kabillion more of the Auto Czar's money is now going to war (who is going to pay for that people? I vaguely remember something about no tax increases?)
  • Obama yells about something and says, "Look-it!"
  • Arizona will be attacking people real, real soon just because they are not white.
  • Forget the meth lab homes, now we have meth traveling trailers! Oh my!
  • Pork could kill me now.
  • Rush Limbaugh is still insane. Look for my sister's blog real soon: "Don't 'rush' me, but I'll take a Vicodin.com"

Is there every any good news or interesting news? Or, news that's new news that I haven't heard before? Oh I saw a 20/20 episode on Sunday that was not new news, but because it was on the other side of the country in Ohio, it was new news to me. I was horrified at the state of some Ohioans that have no food, no where to live, no way to feed their kids--nada, nothing and no one, not even their Governor is helping them. (By the by, all the commercials begged me to give money to Haiti or Africa duh!)

Some chick that runs a food shelter had a gem of an idea that she would give each person a paper plate to write a message to Obama (aka the Auto Czar, now War Czar, now Geez let's keep spending money on nothing Czar). As I watched this story on Ohio local news, one man (who was deceased by airtime) did at least get to write his note:

"Dear President Obama: I worked hard all my life and I died hungry." This made me cry as I wrote my check to Haiti and Africa people!

20/20 showed the food shelter woman mail over 2,000 paper plates with notes to the Auto Czar and yep, you guessed it! Don't look for an answer on your local news! Nothing's new here folks.

No response from Obama like: "Look-it, I'm trying people!" or, "I just gave like $300 Kabillion to the war folks, what else do you want?" or "Wow some guy worked hard all his life and died hungry? Did you see that Michelle? Eat your refried beans, they make your ass look nice! Make sure you don't choke and swallow it down with that tasty and expensive champagne!"

Nope folks, not only is nothing new in local news, it's not even news. We need to revisit the word "news." I think we should call all news shows "Same Old Shit," and we could identify how they were different by who delivered the same old shit like: "Same Old Shit by Edgar Bummer" or "Same Old Shit by Kickass Terry."

Newspapers complain they're losing readers and will have to close if circulation doesn't increase soon. Who cares people--after all, in their local written news, nothing's new either! There is no new news and that's sad people!

Thank God football is back in August!
