Where's the news?

Last night, I was curious about the earthquake in Japan, and for the first time in, oh, 6 years, I went to the TV instead of the Internet. I was shocked to discover that for all the "news" channels, there's very little news available on TV anymore. When did CNN Headline News stop showing headline news? Isn't that kind of central to the point? It looks like the majority of the schedule is now Glenn Beck, Nancy Beck, Showbiz...gees, what a waste. CNN had Larry King, Fox had O'Reilly, and MSNBC had Olbermann (those three have a combined IQ still in double digits), and no one was actually talking about the news. It seems like the news channels have completely surrendered to the Internet and their own little ticker tapes at the bottom of the screen, and just try to fill the air with nonsense.

Oh, and when did Olbermann get so old looking? Must be all the crack he's smoking.
