It is apparent after the history making Presidential Campaigns which ran for over a year, the press finds themselves at a loss. They have nothing to report on. They are too afraid to report on the issues going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan not to mention Iraq. So instead we get over-run with garbage about the Obama girls first day in their new school and whether or not they have decided on a dog
This is shameful the Press no longer wants to report the news because, well to be frank if they can't spin it why report it. In light of everything going on the reporting on what is going on in the middle east has almost but all disappeared. Try this go around and ask 5 people you know if they know about what is going on today over there, I am fairly certain that they will say I have no idea. Reform in this country is needed everyone is talking about the economy and the state of the union. Lets go one step further and add the State of the Press, today the press is for hire for the right amount of money they will push or ideals and propaganda. But when there is no one buying their time we are forced to hear the bullshit like the lunch menu at Sidwell Friends Elementary School.
As many of us grew up being told, if you have nothing worth saying then just keep your mouth shut. It actually helps to cut down on your carbon footprint.

I definitely relate to your frustration. I've given up on the pablum that passes for national US news (CNN, MSNBC, Faux, etc.), and listen/watch BBC, read Project Syndicate, ProPublica and RealClearPolitics.
