My roommate and I ordered Dish Network last week because we were excited by the prospect of being able to watch CNN for more in-depth news coverage. Much to my chagrin the first story I caught was about the Michael Jackson trial. Does anyone really care whether Jackson is guilty or innocent? I'm sorry for his plight, but I really don't think it's headline news. News stories should report real issues of the day. Stories should not be sugar-coated or fluffy. The public needs to hear real truth regardless of its severity. Society will change only if we are stirred into action by real issues. If I want entertainment I'll watch E!, but as for now I want my money back.
