So I get most of my news from Yahoo!, so I'm not the most informed source.
But what gets me is almost all of the news stories that would be considered stories, are always reported before they even happen. Example: I can read a complete overview of Bush's last state of the union address, and he hasn't even given it yet. Why even watch? Why even read about it tomorrow? Tonight even? Example 2: Kennedy endorces Obama. Interesting news, but oh wait, we'll report it before it even happens. Then when it does happen, why report it, we just did that. That just happened.
So are we so impatient that we can't even wait for the news to happen before we make or desicsions on what is going to happen? I mean why actually do something if people can just report that you are going to do it. No one will notice that you actually didn't do it.
Rumors are one thing, speculation, sure, go with it. But when the reporters get the info before hand and then can't wait half a day to report, come on.
Why have elections? Just take the results from the exit polls. Better yet, just take the public opinion poll and use those results. What do the rest of the people know that these "random" 800 people don't know?
Why even give a speach, just give a hand out and say "this is what I was going to say".
I'm jsut saying, give a short blog on what might happen that day, and then publish your article about what happened after what happened happened.
Who cares, I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.
