TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: The TV news industry continues to embarrass itself with serious coverage of gossip news. This story about a fugitive couple being arrested is NOT NEWS! It is a report about a crime. Take a walk to your local police precinct and count the number of crimes being reported. Local crimes are not news. CNN had live coverage with reporters in 2 states! They never sent one single reporter to cover the many lawsuits over Dick Cheney secret energy policy meetings yet they have all the resources to cover crimes THAT HAVE NO AFFECT ON US WHATSOEVER! Journalism? Not even close! Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
