How much of the news you receive by various media do you need to know; and the rest is just entertainment?

Is the bank robbery on 5th & Main or the hit-and-run at Maple & First need to know items or just space filler 'entertainment'  kind of of news?

      More than 90% of what is disguised as “news” these days is nothing but corporate profit-seekers trying to outdo their competitors for ratings, market share, clicks, etc. Furthermore, I don’t know what the words “journalist” and “journalism” are supposed to mean nowadays, or what’s being “taught” in the (majority liberal) colleges and universities on the subject, I don’t know what new hirees are indoctrinated to do about “reporting the news”, but I find it extremely lacking, slanted, shoddy and substandard.

    There is very little of the news I need to know other than the weather. And I only need to see that once. I have been regularly coming here during the evening news, and go back down when Jeopardy comes on.
