As time has progressed and technology has developed, the speed at which humans live has drastically increased. This can be observed in several facets of life, specifically television and conversation. The news has been reduced to little more than sound bites meant to entertain rather than provide actual information. The movie Anchorman 2, while a ridiculous comedy, does a brilliant job of illustrating the deterioration of the news from an informative medium to mere entertainment.
