Have you noticed how the national news has become just another half hour of "entertainment" news?
It rained heavily in Houston last week and so the national news decided to cover the event even though Michael Jackson wasn't there and it wasn't happening in New York City. Anyway, the camera gave us a close-up of a round faced black woman sitting behind the steering wheel of a car asking us the thought provoking question; "WHEY ALL DAT WAHTUH COME FROM?"
I suppose there was a shortage of skinny red-necks with missing teeth, that they usually interview, so they waved down a motorist for a quick quote for our amusement.
Sort of reminds me of the video clip I saw recently of comic talk show host Steve Allen asking people on the street if they could ever vote for a politician who was an "admitted heterosexual". Of course they said no. It's just for entertainment.
I think instead of the "Nightly News" they ought to start calling it the "Nightly Views"
