Hard journalism is dead

Why do Americans even bother questioning why the rest of the world thinks we're slack-jawed imbeciles? Seriously, is that was passes for news now? Does CNN really expect me to believe there was nothing AT ALL more news worthy than a grainy, dark video of Michael Jackson looking at a camera? I can't believe this is the field I want to be involved in.

Oh, here's a fun little fact: I applied at the paper that published this pile of poorly written nonsense but was rejected. I'm not sure if I should be depressed or relieved about that.
