The news has gotten weaker and more thoughtless as we grow deeper into the 2000s. I'm soooo excited I'm about to be graduating with a Journalism degree! It's a shame all the good that comes out of that camp, and what the news decides to focus on. We're obsessed with a negative, sensationalized, pro-tragedy news broadcasts and it's because that what we've learned is all to expect. So are we to blame for consuming it, or are they to blame for feeding it to us? I say shame on us both.
Regardless. The story surrounding this camp, the counselors' importance to the camp and their importance to female-fronted rock is enough juicy material for a full feature. I guess it was just easier to have an angry parent come to you than take two seconds to send a reporter to cover the camp for a few days.
Convenience and shock value fuels the news. Sorry if I'm getting cliche' or political or liberal. It's certainly frustrating to see this stuff happen so much, local news, heck even cable news, isn't worth watching. Am I the only who thinks CNN has lost it, too?
