What constitutes 'News'?

I am so tired of turning on CNN in the morning and hearing yet again about ML370.

It is tragic that a plane with 239 people on board disappeared from the sky 24 days ago but when there is nothing to report, why do they continue to offer speculation as if it were NEWS?

When did the 'news' change from reporting the facts as known to the kind of feeding frenzy the media now dishes up?

In 24 days, they have not reported ONE fact beyond the fact that the plane disappeared. This morning when I turned on the TV, they were debating just what the final words said to ground control were. What difference does that make?

Does anyone else find what passes for news today ridiculous?
