I think it's funny that TV news has failed to remain relevant even though print media survived their onslaught. Obviously I wasn't around in the 30s and 40s and 50s when TV started to become the source for news, but you'd think that the advantage they had over print (potentially up-to-the-minute) would have been enough to entrench themselves into the average home. Not so. Internet has eliminated TV news' usefulness and print media remains because of portability.

Honestly, does anyone watch the evening news anymore? If so, why? Click on google news, or better yet, CP and you'll be linked to everything that's happening. And if you really want to watch television news, there are an abundance of news channels that just loop all day and night. Who actually tunes in at 6pm to hear about stuff that you already read about before leaving the office?
