9. Why is that people want to listen to the TV heads speculate and babble
over and over all day long when they have nothing new to report? When they could report the basic facts in two minutes and then report on the other far more important news?

I really don't get it. I know people that love to listen to this drivel and I've even asked them why they like to listen to it, but they don't have an answer. It's not even entertaining after the first 10 minutes! It's so repetitious.

What need does it provide for people? I know they enjoy salaciousness, but why do they put up with the repetition? They must like that too for some reason.
