Should fox news be shut down?

Do News com­pa­nies have Obses­sive Com­pul­sive Dis­or­der?

With this 24 hour news cycle we appar­ent­ly have to lis­ten to the same old news sto­ry for hours on end as if it were the only news and as if no one has yet seen the news, repeat­ing over and over again the same news.

I ques­tion this from a psy­cho­log­i­cal view­point since once the news sto­ry has been report­ed at what point does a news sto­ry become obses­sive and inva­sive, right now Fox news has been play­ing the 911 calls that were made at the height of the emer­gency. If you watch the news more than 4 hours in one day what are the chances that you might have to go to a psy­chi­a­trist, and get a pre­scrip­tion for depres­sion.

Sounds insane right but what if there were some facts to back this up?

When does this become a sick­ness?

Do peo­ple real­ly want to hear the dra­mat­ic and obvi­ous suf­fer­ing of oth­er humans?

Is this what our news com­pa­nies have been reduced to report­ing?

In some cas­es you may begin to won­der when news cov­er­age should end and com­pas­sion, respect for the dead and suf­fer­ing fam­i­lies, should begin, when you begin to ques­tion the morals of a reporter’s com­pas­sion or lack there­of I expect it is high time for the news to change its tune.

If you are unaware of the tragedy that took place over 24 hours ago, you obvi­ous­ly are not in touch with the world around you nor are you con­cerned at all, so why keep on with the 24 hour news cycle in these cas­es?

A while ago a few peo­ple began to ques­tion the neces­si­ty of what we call news these days, in fact 20 years ago much of what is report­ed on the news would nev­er have been aired. Yet, we con­tin­ue to see this trash jour­nal­ism, make the 24 hour news cycle over and over again.
