"not what you think"?
"politics", rolling political agenda into every story, Sunday commentary's blown out to 24/7, etc.
"not relevant", yes, I fail to see how incessant coverage of 10 boys in a cave in Thailand was relevant, requiring days of coverage. Sports, really, who cares, fewer, and fewer, and fewer. GDP/stock market, no longer how "the economy" is doing, yet news hypes it, daily.
"simpler", Adam Reilly may feel entitled to roll in his opinion into stories (rolling political agenda), as do far too many others, and worst of the worst, editors' tilt ... choice of what to cover, and not cover. And that's before we get to the ridiculous hammering of Big Pharma and loud incessant Toyota/Ford commercials.
From where I (refuse to) sit (and watch), the list is exactly what I expected.
