Why The Stupid Satire?

It seems that it the media, all ethics are dead and gone. Where are the Ted Koppels, Tom Brokaws, Peter Jennings, and Walter Kronkites. It seems like every story you here in the news now days has to have a cheap and taudry twist to get any coverage. It is damn near cartoonish. Everytime I watch the news, in order for a story to get any coverage there has to be some juicy plot twist in order for people to pay attention, or at least thats what the media wants you to think. When I was younger, my grandfather saw me reading a tabloid newspaper which at the age I knew was fake but the stories were entertaining, and he asked my why I read such trash and if I believed in such nonsense. I told him I knew the deal. Nowadays, it seems like all the serious media outlets have turned to such outlandish stories to get reader attention. Why, I don't know but everything from the evening news to CNN, ESPN, the E! channel and even some newspapers have begun milking scandal and legend instead of getting to the journalistic truth. I guess these days dollars speak over truth and justice.
