Some Day We'll See Some Relevant News
With all the important things going on today, it seems to be too much to ask to get a news source that actually reports news that's relevant. Relevant to a society at large.
What is relevant - an issue that has bearing upon society at large.
Something BESIDES shock value; something besides pity; something besides envy.
I want a consistent news source that gives me relevant news.
Eample Relevant issues of today:
Valuation of Chinese Yuan versus the US Dollar (a main factor in the trade imbalance with China that affects us all), Illegal Immigration, Social Security reform, taxes, how is the government spending our money, how the government legislates morality, etc., etc., etc.
What are not relevant issues:
Anything that happens on American Idol (or any other reality show, sitcom, movie, unless used as a pulpit to affect legislation or an election), any alleged crime uncovered or its related trial (don't get me wrong - I'm not heartless - my heart drops when I hear about egregious crimes, that crimes occur is a bad thing, but they only impact a very limited number of people, usually the victims and their immediate family; however legislation on how to reduce crime is relevant)(exception: attacks against the US as a nation), anything that happens to a celebrity/that a celebrity does (unless it's aimed at affecting legislation or an election). You get the general idea - stuff that's interesting/shocking to hear, but is otherwise not relevant.
