Extra Intervention Post

The News of yesteryear was informational, to the point, and watched by many. Today, especially among the younger generation, news is something we see on our Facebook home page. In order for news to get watched in our current society, it has to provide some sort of entertainment value. Often times a local news station will show a news story that has no real relevance, but is guaranteed to provide laughter. In one particular case a local news station in Alabama showed a clip that dealt with a Leprechaun being afoot. The news station interviewed people about this ridiculous story, and sure enough, the result ended in laughter among the viewers as well as the news anchors.

This clip is a perfect example of how the line has become blurred, and also how we can only truly be stimulated these days by entertainment, no matter the medium.
