News Fluffy stories

       After reading an article by Chuck Klosterman we were given the idea that most of the reasons people don't like the news is for the wrong reasons. In relation to this idea that news stories can be miss interpreted and there are flaws indeed we watched a few short news stories.  After watching a few of the latest CNN stories it was very true sometimes there's isn't enough information to make a good story, and the writers hae to work with what they got.
       One of the stories that popped up was about two suspects having their bail request waved. The thing is the first this which were being discussed had nothing to do with what they were allegedly being charged for or anything relative to there case. The only this that was discussed at first was there clothing, now how does that have to do with anything?! The the reporter went on to say you could clearly understand what emotions the suspects were going through. No journalist who is watching from afar should be able to speculate there feelings by just looking at them. Another story which was played was military wife's getting a makeover, sure that's nice in all but a whole section of new dedicated to seeing there transformation is more of a show, not high priority news. The wives story could have be mentioned but it felt like an advertisement from the one's doing the makeover. The News sometimes buts in fillers into what they cover, maybe they haven't gotten the whole story or there wasn't even that much of a story to covered in the first place.
