Maybe things are different in the UK, but have you ever watched a news program in the US? It sometimes seems the reporters will trample over anyone doing a good deed just to get an interview with the brother of the boyfriend of the sister of the wife of a murderer. And among the first questions will invariably be, "How could you not have known this would happen?" or some variation.

I don't watch news broadcasts anymore. They have become partisan reality shows more often than not.

I get my news from the Internet, now, where I KNOW everything is Fair and Balanced! </sarcasm>
