yeah for the most part it's utter shit, but it's "what the public wants"-- news of rapes, murders, and carjacking, fires and catastrophes big and small, but nothing of what can help you make up your mind about your actions in the world.
same thing happens in most countries too though.
just because england has the bbc doesn't mean that all limeys get their news there.
