but it seems the 24x7 news cycle is a big part of it. When I was a kid we had half an hour of local news in the morning, at noon, & again around dinner. National news was only at dinner. There was no 24x7 news cycle where shows had to produce ratings to get advertising dollars. We profitized "the news" & now there's so much of it that has no value, you have to be a savvy news consumer.
