It isn't just the four letter network--but with 24 hour coverage of sports [and every other imaginable news topic] on TV, radio, internet, and every other form of media, the business of news is no longer about covering the news, it's about interpreting news and putting controversial spins on news in order to be sensationalist. What else do these talking heads have to talk about when they spend 24 hours per day pontificating on the minutia of every minuscule sports "controversy?"
