ANSWER #1:"They cover way too much of one story so many nights in a row. I also hate how they switch from horrible things like starving kids in Afghanistan to Gresham Boy Scouts."

ANSWER #2:"They have 20 stories instead of four or five really good ones. They don't talk about the issues. It's pop media, especially Fox News. They tell us stuff we already know, instead of the real news. It's cheeseball."

ANSWER #3:"The overdramatization of the weather, especially when it snows. As soon as a speck of snow hits the ground, they have reporters go on location. It's always the top story, and they even take newsbreaks to go live to where the snow is falling. It's ridiculous."

ANSWER #4:"Sports. I hate sports. It's not interesting. I always turn it off right after the weather."
