Heh I think people continue to watch because they are "entertained", I don't know much about American media but from what I have seen it looks pretty lousy to me

Like i said the news needs to report on things that are important, not things like "DEAR GOD THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY HAD A CHILD!!!", and I don't know about you but I believe murders are fairly important. Also just because a shooting happens in a white middle class area that does not mean that it is more important than a school that "has shootings often"
