They use a subject, eat it, destroy it, and then scrap it.
At best, a subject can take the media a month to digest; at worst, a few hours.
Why is our media such a mass of slobbering fools?
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me somehting, something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry.
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here,
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear,
Come and whisper in my ear,
Give us dirty laundry.
Kick em when their up
Kick em when their down
Kick em when their up
Kick em when their down
Kick em all around
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at 5,
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye,
Its interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry.
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet,
Get the widow on the set!!
We need dirty laundry
You don't really need to find out whats going on,
You don't really want to know just how far its gone,
Just leave well enough alone,
Eat your dirty laundry.
Dirty little secrets,
Dirty little lies,
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodies pie
We love to cut you down to size,
We love dirty laundry.

The news media in this country is definitely broken. They have found that actual investigative journalism requires talent, work and research - all of which costs more than just throwing reactionary headlines up and parroting talking points.

I quite often listen to NPR. It is played here in Australia on an all news radio network. I find it the most balanced of all the American media outlets I am exposed to here in Australia. Most of the other American media seems to be sensationalist of politically biased to me.
