The History Channel

I was watching the history channel today, and I came to the realization that they are not only a history channel, but a psuedo-entertainment channel disguised as purely an academic endeavor. I was watching a show that could have been called "What scares people; with 10 minute reenactments and crazy-cool graphics, and also ridiculous facts" and I couldn't stop. It was interesting, because it was real, but also because the package that it came in was none-stop action adventure. it felt like a videogame, only with facts about what drowning alive feels like and what happens when you go into bars in Rhode Island. Although not exactly relevant to our course of life in the world, it was definitely not bad to know. After watching this, and other shows that combine entertainment and history (like a war history show that used videogames for reenactments, among others) that I realized that this is what the news channels should be doing. If the news syndicates are having problems with young people watching their shows, DO NOT give D.L. Hughley a show. He's too old to be relevant to us, and all other comedians we listen to talk mostly about food, sex, and drugs anyway, so that whole idea is pretty bad. We want to respect the news, and enjoy entertainment. We also d0n't like looking at things that don't move every 5 seconds. So keep the content, focus on the same issues, but change the presentation. That doesn't mean change try to fit in with young people, and have celebrities and rap music and catchphrases you think we say injected into every discussion of the current american financial system. Just BE interesting, in a classy way. Don't do what you think we want, but hire US to do your programming. Young people who don't listen to the news appreciate those who do, because the average young person still knows the news matters. Don't foolishly scurry to snatch back the young people you know you need to save your viewership. We will come to you if you simply keep going the same way you have been, by hiring news anchors once the old ones die off. Eventually you'll hit our age group, and those who don't already will begin to appreciate what you have to offer
