It doesn’t make sense for us to review TV health news anymore

How crappy is the MSM?
"You won’t be seeing network TV health news stories show up in the reviews on this site any more – at least not in the way they’ve appeared in the past. Reasons:

• This is just one part of an overall change we’ll be announcing soon - a change in the entire scope of which news organizations we will review.

• We can’t review everything.

• Reviewing the TV news segments is the most time-consuming part of our work because we transcribe the broadcasts ourselves.

• After 3.5 years and 228 network TV health segments reviewed, we can make the data-driven statement that many of the stories are bad and they’re not getting much better.

• Our last publisher’s note
http://www.healthnewsreview.org/publishers_note33.php
gave details on the embarrassing performance of the networks’ morning health news segments."
Health News Review is a watchdog organization that is fed-up with the consistently poor performance of sick care coverage on the MSM-affiliated boob tube channels.

You should be, too.

Read it all.
