Antiquated Techniques Flood Every News Channel

Have you ever noticed how new "reporters" will go to the scene of a story that they are covering? Like seeing where the original event took place has some meaning.

WTF cares if you show the front door handles of the Gook nail salon that had five people run out without paying?!

What's the point of showing a wooded area where a dead body was found, especially after it's already been removed?!

Does showing the convenience store that sold the winning computer generated lottery ticket do anything?!

These "news" companies spend millions and millions of dollars having "reporters" go on site for what? Are people that stupid that they have to see where something happened?

If "it bleeds, it leads" is one thing, but to show such mundane, stupid shit and to play it off like it means something is irrational, at best....
