Is there a news channel that isn't social network obsessed?

Alright, I’ll admit – I’m a younger person that doesn’t really care about watching news. Especially local news.
This morning I was unlucky enough to witness some crap.

My local news channel is freaking obsessed with twitter and facebook. What gives? This kind of crap drives me up the freaking wall like nothing else.

Then I change to the weather channel for some sanity – and wtf? “Hey we’re ustreaming with Destin, FL!” I could really kill someone right now.

Why are news stations so obsessed with social networking sites? I understand communicating with your viewers or whatever… but its getting to be a bit much. Why do they care what facebook thinks about EVERYTHING? Lay off and give us REAL NEWS.
