The Worse News Program Ever?

My girlfriend and I were flipping channels and for some God-forsaken reason we stopped on Q-13 Fox. The only time I watch Fox is for baseball and football, and I used to watch it when Married with Children was on back in the 90s.

But the local news on Fox is terrible, the worse possible I'm pretty sure. And it was the same in New York: sensational, bullshit, and very unworthy news. In 10 seconds here's what we saw: a 5-second "advertisment" for a segment, to be shown after a short commercial break, on date deadlines for mailing holiday packages, and a "pet walk forecast"--the prognosis for tomorrow was "dry paws"!

Does this signal the downfall of American civilization, or just that our pets will stay dry and that Aunt Bertha will get her fruitcake on time?
