News Freak No More

Howard Rosenberg’s column, “ ‘NewsHour’ Chases the News, Not Simpson” (Oct. 26), was right on. As a former news freak, I used to watch several hours of local news a day--but no more! To get the small amount of news dispensed between the mountains of idiotic, ridiculous hype on the Rodney G. King beating, the Menendez trial and now the O.J. Simpson trial is simply not worth the aggravation. Give me “MacNeil/Lehrer” or CNN any time.
