O'Connor: There's a whole lot said about "fake news" or "biased news."
Let's talk about irrelevant news for a minute.
How many times are you watching cable news, and,
unless you're living in Manhattan, Washington, D.C., LA,
San Francisco, or Chicago, what you're watching there
really is completely irrelevant to you.
The topics that are most important to them
aren’t things that are really important to you.
The perspective that they bring to the table,
the arguments that you see them having
are not the arguments that you'd be having with
anyone that's important to you in your life.
I know that we want our news media to tell us
the truth, of course. That should go without saying.
We also want them to do more than that.
We want them to actually talk about things that are
important to us, that matter to us, that are relevant
in our lives. That's the real danger of today's news media,
especially when it is so focused on the winners and losers
in Washington, D.C. Don't worry about being
fake or biased. Just be relevant.
