Cable news is the television National Enquirer

Turned on CNN and MSNBC to catch important news on Ukraine war, climate change, pending Trump indictments, corporate railroad malfeasance among other important issies deserving coverage.

Turned off quickly when simply offered wall to wall coverage of a bizarre murder trial, adding no important value to fosteing an informed electorate. Most folks watching likely now know more about the gothic Southern Low Country in South Carolina than they do about important matters in Washington DC or their state capital.

It has been the most coverage of a non important news story deserving minimal coverage since a football player was injured on national TV.

Cable news is an utter disgrace. Ownership shovels billions

to their bottom line by keeping us distracted and entertained. Americans may not be stupid...but most sure are ignorant. And it's not entirely their fault.
