    Default Why News is Stupid

    Sensationalist headlines have become the norm and 'not news' outnumbers actual news items. Why? Because it gets better ratings. Apparantly, people who have time to watch TV don't care that much about actual news. Drew Curtis, creator of the famous 'not news' site, fark.com, weighs in on why professional news services resemble his web site more and more every day.

    I've been saying this for ages.

    The news only covers sensationalism. You can only find real news on the internet.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
