Is it me, or are all the morning news shows completely devoid of any leadership whatsoever?  Ever since Katie Couric left the Today Show, morning news has fallen to pieces. If there is no political candidate to gossip about, or school shooting to investigate, the morning news is being relegated to cats playing with yo-yos.  With the internet being so prevalent, segment producers appear to just be sitting in their offices just waiting for the latest news to appear in their in-boxes, as opposed to getting out into their communities and finding what is worthy of investigating. When did news become a reporting of the latest and most interesting piece of crap (like this R. Kelly case that has been in the news for NINE YEARS. He had sex with a 14 year old people. Convict him and move on.)? There are real people making a difference in the world everyday. People creating solutions to problems and pain that could nurture and heal the world. Why is the media not paying attention?  And what is the result?  Millions of people suffering because they are not aware of the solutions to their problem, or that anyone is even having the conversation about their needs.  I’m just disgusted this morning.  If I liked plain toast for breakfast every day of my life, the morning news programs would be a wonderful side dish.  Wake up morning producers and go out into the world and find the stories worth reporting on. Stop waiting for people to tell you what to report on and go out into the world and find the news. Being a Leader means taking risks and doing what is right for the benefit of the world.  Oh wait.  the Today Show just started.  There’s a plumbing problem on the space station.  I simply must run off to hear all about it. And even better, a new book is out by Scott McClellan telling us that the Bush White House and Washington are broken.  BECAUSE WE DIDN’T KNOW.  Nothing like reporting the obvious.
