Great News shows or tabloid?

A tabloid is a newspaper industry term which refers to a small newspaper format per spread; to an alternative newspaper that focuses on local-interest stories and entertainment,... that tends to emphasise sensational crime stories, gossip columns repeating scandalous innuendos about the personal lives of celebrities and sports stars, and other so-called "junk food news"

Has the evening news been turned into tabloid entertainment?

I'm going to make a comment about FOX News- I used to watch it almost every night-- but it has almost turned into a National Enquirer type- with its hyping of the "murder of the week" investigation....They spend more time- for months- on some wife that comes up missing- or some girl that disappeared in Aruba- then they do on real news....Even O'reilly is getting terrible- with more and more movie stars, body language readers,--all entertainment stuff to jack up the ratings- but not really doing good news anymore...
I do like watching Hannity and Colmes- for the political argument side- and a look at both sides...

I still like Brit Hume, but sometimes miss the show because its too early...Anymore if you want to hear the news involving the world, country, and our government-- Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty on CNN best cover them...
Another I like to watch is Glenn Beck on MSNBC- altho he would be better if he let his guests talk and quit interrupting them with his snips.....

I have felt the same about FOX "news" for awhile now..
I have a friend that tells me any time O'Reilly actually says something important... which is not so often anymore...

I like Lou Dobbs except when he goes on rants about "The Admistration".. then he just sounds like Oberton..

Glenn Beck seemed okey until his operation?.. now he seems off track.. just not the same.. might have neutered him.. :wink:

And Hannity could carry a show by himself easily

I like Joe Scarborough , but he needs a different side-kick.. Scarborough and whats her name keep talking over each other...

I also like Willie Geist and Tucker...

But Fox and most of the cable news channels have become tabloids
