About the only things I watch on TV are the British mysteries, & the science programs, they show on our local PBS station. Sometimes I'll hear the local news because I'm waiting for the weather forecast to come on. The one thing I've noticed is that every report on some murder or terrorist attack seems to get around, sooner or later, to saying the perpetrator had some sort of mental illness. I think this is a worrisome trend.

I saw a clip from an interview with journalist Bill Moyers recently that was to be broadcast on our local PBS station. (I didn't watch the full program.) Anyway, in the clip I saw, Moyers commented that journalism is a "fallen profession." I couldn't agree more.
