When I was a kid, they had 30 mins of national news and 30 minutes of local news.

This all day all the time stuff is pretty ridiculous if you think about it.

What Trump is really pissed about (I think) is the news networks think they should set the agenda.

I hate teaser news, which is why I don't watch commercial TV news broadcasts.

They'll show a two-second teaser, then say "When we come back, this shocking news...". After several commercial breaks, they're still teasing. Meanwhile, 15 or 20 minutes go by. F' them, as Trump would say. I just browse the Internet and instantly get the news I want, from multiple sources. And long before the commercial TV news is on it, if they report on it.

I must be very old, but I remember the nightly news as a 15 minute broadcast: Douglas Edwards with the News on CBS.

The petrified “news” media is already dead - they just don’t know it. There are currently over 2 billion videographers in the world right now. Every minute of every day, almost every inhabited place in the world has a camera pointed at it or one is seconds away. We do not need to have a narrator who describes what we are witnessing, telling us to ignore what we see and blaming somebody else.
