smiling newscasters

This post falls under the "Society and technology" headings because it sure as hell isn't about teaching.

Why were the local newscasters smiling while they were showing us heliocopter footage of Faye Dunaway (who the fuck is that?) from Los Angeles? I am thousands of miles from there! IT DOESN'T CHANGE MY LIFE!

Who decides what's relevant and news-worthy? Will it be a better world when we only hear what we are interested in? Can I happily exist with a channel devoted exclusively to Crank Yankers and no idiotic local news "personalities"?
