media vultures always circle

people really like to get out ahead and declare things in decline, over, done, over...media recounts media's decline...countless efforts to denounce global developments, even natural resources...

it appears especially prevalent in the television media. for example,
- trying to pre-emptively predict a show's failure on the flimsiest basis
- 'shark-jumping' calls for a now-venerable reality show
- the hypocrite that i am, i just did it

the la times' entertainment outlet calendar live attempts to document the decline of 'procedurals' like csi and law&order.
oh by the way, CSI is #1 in the nielsens and the two franchises have 6 of the top 30 spots. network execs are taking that 'decline' all the way to the bank
