Or does the news seem exceptionally regurgitated here lately? I’ve been skimming the news feeds and I swear most of the headlines I could have sworn I saw last month or even last year. It seems to me that when there is no “sensational” news to break with, reporters decide to bust out with the old and tried articles. Spruce them up a bit and hit “publish” The general populace will never notice they’re reading garbage!

Found a survey on Dneero and the questions are supposedly taken from headlines:

See what I mean? The survey seems so general and random, and that’s what’s been in the news lately. Just a bunch of bs.

    It’s not just you :)
    This is the most useless and random survey I’ve seen lately and in my opinion the only thing it can be used for is writing another washed out article.
    People rely too much on things written to a formula lately

    There’s a lot of what I call “pseudo-news” in which newscasters report on what color to paint your house in the summer, and crap like that.

    That’s what happens as a result of RSS feeds.
