They all report the same news for the most part, and it's all news that they pick and choose. Believe me, there are MANY times when I'm asking myself how can they even consider some things to be news and isn't there something more important to report going on in the world?
The American people at this point by and large don't want to hear about how we are losing Africa to Al-Qaeda and affiliates. One of the golden rules in the News business is that you never tell people what's happening, you tell them what they want to hear. So why upset them and make them change the channel. Give them a nice salacious story about an idiot NBA team owner, instead - that will let them feel morally superior to a rich guy, and they're more likely to stay on it.
