Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.

There is buying this morning on relief after the interest rate news but people are hesitant to go all out because the focus is shifting to what Taiwan's new president will say in his inauguration speech at the weekend.

That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment.

Right now people are scared because they don't feel empowered. Most of them don't watch television, see the news or read the newspaper, so we have to inspire them.

Why something in the public interest such as television news can be fought over, like a chain of hamburger stands, eludes me.

Who is in charge? Is it taxpayers or is it the special interest groups?
