@stux Yeppers. Almost everything on US cable TV labeled "news" is really talking heads riffing on the news to target a specific profitable demographic.

Producing news is expensive. You have to pay reporters, etc., stand up news bureaus in multiple cities/countries. The experience of a few cable nets in the 80s & 90s, especially CNN, who tried to do straight news convinced the industry there's no money in it.

There's an audience for 30-60 minutes a day of real TV news but not 24/7/365.
