Poor Reporting

Due to a lack of things to do on Sunday and a poor TV schedule, we had the misfortune of watching Global National Sunday Evening News.

What a horrendous waste of time. I watch a lot of news and I think like any good story there should be a beginning, a middle and an end. Somebody should point this out to these guys. They seemed at least this past Sunday to be more interested in the lead in headlines than the stories.

They also tended to push out the most outrageous headline prior to a commercial in an effort to keep you tuned in and then didn't follow up after the break until three stories later.


The topper for me was one of those "Breaking News" pieces. Sunday's breaking news story was the killing of 2 boys and beating of their mother and the death of their assailant . I"ll check my facts and update this later, I'm on a roll.

Global Nationals' Breaking News' headline before the break was "Two teens believed killed and mother injured in attack details after the break." After the break they came back with "Two teens, believed killed, mother injured in attack in greater Vancouver suburb." and that was it. What kind of reporting is that?

I'm not that media savvy but really why not just fill the time with a complete story about puppies or something. Give us something with a beginning, a middle and an end. If you don't have enough facts to do a proper story shut up until you do.
