I've never understood why people get so up in arms about more news content or what counts as news, as if they'll really be sitting home for the entire 8 hours, or as if they don't have other channels to choose from.
Not only that, but with that much content, of course there's going to be more than the crime and violence of the day. I'm not a big fan of the celebrity fluff either, but I don't mind it in between all the doom and gloom and political pissing matches going on.
