I'd like to say I'm shocked
that the radio station's reporting was shallow, inaccurate or biased, but I'm just too jaded & have peeked behind the curtain too many times to be shocked or surprised anymore. I just remind myself that most of what's reported today on TV & radio or in newspapers & magazines is meant to be entertainment.
I'd say this definition of "journalism" from the Random House Unabridged Dictionary is apropos -
"4. writing that reflects superficial thought and research, a popular slant, and hurried composition, conceived of as exemplifying topical newspaper or popular magazine writing as distinguished from scholarly writing."

Happiness? I'd settle for being less annoyed!!!
