Et tu Variety? Et tu?

Question: when did journalism suddenly turn into the ability to summarize factual information?

I was cruising Variety.com for new entertainment info and clicked a link to examine this article about Fox's new mid-season lineup. Unfortunately what I discovered was essentially a spoken word schedule chalk full of information I already know. Here's the thing, most of the blogs have at least a couple of these types of lists floating around and if I really wanted to read the Fox schedule, I would go to FOX. What I'm looking for from one of the foremost entertainment magazines is just that: ENTERTAINMENT! Or at least an article that doesn't look like a carbon copy of somebody's press release.
