We all know that news reporting in South Florida, if not America, is a lost and dead art. But there still is a need for citizens to be able to quickly see what is going on within our community. Sadly, one of the absolute worse “newspapers online” is the Florida Sun-Sentinel. They remind me of the old National Enquirer in their more disgusting days.
Here are the main news stories on the front page of the Sin-Sensational website today as of 9:30 am today. I have highlighted what I consider to be not only not news, but just sensational stories, disgusting stories, trying to feed on the worse element of human nature.

Today’s Buzz: Did Obama’s speech fuel class warfare?
Seven out of ten of the “articles” are just liquid crap squeezed out of the Sun-Sentinel plastic crap bottle. Examples:
- The Pembroke Pines sex story has been from top page for a long time now. Not because it is really news, but because it is a weird, disgusting and sensational event.
- The Breast Implant story is from Brevard County. How is that “News” to readers in Miami-Dade, Broward or even Palm Beach County?
- Again, the child molestation story is from Bradenton, way over on the other side of the state. Is this really hot news we need to know right away on the SE coast????
- The brain eating story is in Connecticut. Sure, the guy used to live in Florida, but really, are we reporting on every crime committed in other states by current or former Floridians? Or only when they they are zombies???
- Class warfare? That is not even news, just an attempt to rile people up so they spend more time on the page.
My suggestion is for any remaining news organiztions out there to start reporting on real news. Forget the sex and gore and report the news! And not just a two paragraph story about a bank robbery with information “pending”. Pending so much you never get the story.
Are any reporters actually leaving their desks or are they only reporting what they are told by police and government spokespeople, what they might hear on a police scanner, and what WSVN has reported????
I never, ever click on any advertisement on the Sun-Sentinel’s web page. Not a one. Not ever. But if there was a real honest to God news site, I would click on the ads all day long. Hell, I would pay .50 cents to have access to a newspaper for one day. I buy apps for my iphone and Android tablet all the time for .99 cents, if they had a real and I mean real news website, I would pay for it! Yes, I would.
But this sex, sin and gore the Florida Sun-Sentinel is tossing about isn’t worth reading at all, and worse yet, you can’t line your parakeet’s cage with it either!
My opinion. Your mileage may vary.
