A Big Sigh for TV

Oh where to begin, over all I believe it's safe to say TV has gone down the drain right? I mean think about it. There are so many garbage programs out there that we love...? Doesn't make much sense, but anyway.
So these sad people on reality TV programs... How the heck do they find these people?! It's just crazy! You think about Ryan Cecrest (however you spell that silly name), why is he so special? He gets so much attention and gets to into American Idol (dramatic and the like..) Good grief, I really want to ask why he's so "amazing". Another show where they get some strange folk is that silly Dancing with the Stars (or whatever... If you're wondering why I'm coming up with these shows it's because my sister likes them and if i'm walking in between rooms I might catch a few minutes of each). There are wild people on that show and it makes me sad that they can't find anybody better. Not dancing whys, butbeing in front of a camera.
Why are these shows so popular? Maybe because so many people have nothing better to do at 8 or 9pm at night. I don't know for sure, but that is probably one reason. When will it ever end though?! These reality shows that NEVER end, just seem to keep going on and on and on with no ending. If there is ever a season finale, you know what happens. They just make something else up that's similar. It brings to mind a short story I read last year about a society where everyone watches "a viewing screen". Nobody went out at night and if they did they might get caught and were put into an asylum. I would go mad if that were how today's world was. Think about it, every night, closed up and locked away from the rest of the world. In seclusion from the rest of the world. Not going to a party at night simply because there was NEVER one to go to. I can't imagine.
Another issue that bugs me about TV is the fact that so much of the "true" things, aren't really true. I am conservative, so if you take it from my perspective, what are all these big broadcasting companies doing? CNN, what is it about them that they can get away with so much? Sad thing is, it's hard to get a non-biased news company. You're pretty much always going to have some bias. The thing is, it's news. People are attracted to bad news and if there was something that is bad that happened to somebody that people thought were good, you can bet it's going to get covered up. If that doesn't make much sense, take Obama's people in the White House. One guy under our president found out and has started arguing that CO2 is not the cause of Global Warming. Huh, interesting that a person that is for Obama found out some lies and has started blabbering about them. It looks like SOMEbody's in trouble. I asked my dad as a joke, "That's probably gonna be on CNN tonight right?" He said, "No! Heck no! It's going to be the greatest kept secret since Vietnam!" And I added on, "And the moon right?!" But, I guess life continues on huh?
All in all, yes it's safe to say TV is not progressing in the field of education. More for entertainment. Which is fine, but we better not get too wrapped up into that kind of stuff. I read this year in my world history book about when TV first was getting popular and how all these fun shows were being broadcasted. One of the people responsible for aiding in the television field said that he was upset how America had ruined his "baby" and said that he would never allow his children to see any of it. Interresting. This guy just wanted it to be for educational purposes and what has it become today?! Oh wow, there's some junk out there. Hate to admit it, but i've seen some of it and not been impressed one bit. "Sad, but true."
At least I know who's in charge of all this craziness that's going on. God, 10000%. (hope that "." said it all and not a million exclaimation marks that aren't necessary.)
