A couple of days ago I started a diary titled, "F*ck the horse races. Give me some news!"
The network and newspapers seem to have every reporter on the horse race at the expense of real news. Even Friday’s Lehrer News Hour with Shields-Brooks was all horse races. KOS has been just as guilty as the others. How many times have I seen the recommended list with all eight stories about horse races?
Today, I’m feeling a little better - not that the news is good. The news is terrible but at least there is a little news between the race track coverage. The top four KOS diaries are about something other than the horse races. Inky99 reviews an important story by Chris Floyd on an FBI cover-up in the black market trading of nuclear weapons.
Interguru has an important story on the high energy consumption of new technologies.
In third and fourth places we have Jerome a Paris and Darksyde with diaries about our crashing economy. Shouldn’t this be front page on every newspaper in the country?
The next four are about the horse race.
Thank you Inky99, Interguru, Jerome a Paris, and Darksyde for some news.
Now, who do you think will win the party nominations?
