National Morning News Program Threatens to Ruin BuddyCrocker's Entire Day!

Why do morning news programs like Good Morning America and The Today Show have to run such ridiculous fluff when there's so much that's momentous happening in the world? We're mucking up Iraq, standing off with Iran, North Korea is close to testing long-range missiles for their nukes, and GMA runs a report that "macho-sexuals" are replacing "metro-sexuals." And this "report" runs for about ten minutes, as in depth as GMA gets with anything, despite the fact that it runs for two hours. Completely disregarding the fact that this metro/machosexual crap is so obviously a marketing thing to goad men into spending money, a fact that's infuriating on its own, this "report" is tagged onto the reading of the news, making it seem like it has some legitimacy. You know, they did the exact same thing with their investigation of people who are addicted to tanning-bed use, "tanorexia." (That's not a joke.) And people wonder why Americans are so uniformed.
