Your Attention, Please! It Is Time For The News!

News broadcasts constantly have scrolls and/or flashing signs during Television News Shows that alert us to the fact that what we are being subjected to is extremely important.

The screen is alive with the words “Breaking News!” or we see “News Alert!” flashing in the lower right hand corner of the screen as they shout at us the momentous details of what we ought to be worried about at this very moment.

Do our schools not teach the story about The Boy Who Cried Wolf any longer?

I knew for certain that all this hysteria has gone too far last night as I was watching the Weather Report. There was my Weatherman telling me I ought not to go outside because of the Extreme Drizzle that was currently descending upon us all.

Would I kid u?
