Gripe of the Day: News RSS Feeds

Okay, this one is just one of those things. I subscribe, via Google Reader, to multiple news feeds. Of course, I get my local news outlets and I also get CNN, which is one of my favorites. I also subscribe to a large variety of other feeds that cover celebrities and what not. The celebrity sites are always pumping out feeds. Every minute my reader is fetching a new set of feeds from these sites. That's acceptable because the celeb-watch bizz in highly active and persistent so I expect it but I have a problem with these news feeds. The news feeds are pumping out as much crap as the celeb gossip sites and just as fast. How can anybody take the news seriously if it's pumped out like celebrity gossip?! There is no way that what the news feeds are pumping out can be substantive when they're sending it out as fast as they get it. In fact, they often send out the same story three or more times due to the fact that the facts change as the story either develops or they actually research the info. I would prefer that they waited until the stories are more developed before they sent them out. I also have an issue with the volume of info their sending out daily. They send out enough junk to write an entire book on a daily basis. Who has the time to keep up with that much junk?! I would like to take the news seriously and they are making it difficult. It's gotten to the point that I delete 99 percent of the news fed to my reader without even attempting to read them because it's just too overwhelming. One feed I get from CNN is the Cafferty File. I love the Cafferty File because he doesn't overload you with hourly crap. I'll take my time and read what Cafferty has to offer because I know that he doesn't just send out a feed for every little thing that comes up, before he's done some work on the story before hand. I hope these news guys get out of the business of political gossip and rumor milling so that we can take our news seriously again. I love CNN but they are the biggest perpetrators here. Anywho, I'm vented.
