So we all know fox news is shit. But at one point CNN wasn't a worthless rag just like the rest of the crap you find on TV. Does anyone know what happened? If i have to sit through another 48 hours of Kobe coverage or another promo for the latest details on Bennifer (if you don't know what 'Bennifer' is, you're a lucky soul) i will....do something stupid; just to feel in place. This crap isn't real news. What I want to hear about is the economy, the democratic joke of a race, and foriegn policy (note i didn't say war; I didnt think it was possible to overcover a war, but CNN surprised me). Screw Soledad O'Brien (Spanish-Irish, I'll bet she changed it to broaden her demographic appeal, the bitch) and celebrity guest hosts on crossfire. Just give me the news. CNN blows, but its all that on TV. I'm done ranting, flame away

Fownews is crap. the millions of people who watch it and make it the number 1 news channel are crap. Am i the only republican who visits this site? it seems that your only hip on this site if you bash bush and donate to PETA. About democrats and the good economy- the current pres rides the economic policies of the previous prez...clinton rode reaganomics and bush is riding clintons plans. Of course this doesn't matter to most. they just need someone to bitch at and bush is a very convienent target. I will agree on one point though. most of the stuff you hear on tv news is crap. then again there isn't enough news to fill the whole day therefore you need filler, (bennifer..) What i have noticed on this site is that there are too few people who actually research what their bitching about. if you disagree with a foxnews or cnn story, research it, try to find out what angle the reporter was presenting, and bitch about it in a logical ,INTELLIGENT manner. Bitching just to bitch is the mark of a true newbie or an attention whore. thank you for your time.

"the democratic joke of a race"
Ok, so Democrats are another race now? Jeez, this tops that time I had someone tell me that French are a different race.
I hesitate to call Democrats a joke. In fact, far from a joke. I am an independant. I think the Democrats are good because they keep the economy up and unemployment down. While they don't spend a whole lot of time on the military, why should we if we are peaceful enough to not need to use it?
Just crazy old Tom talkin again.

I agree, I don't like going to comcast's site and seeing a poll about Ben/Jen.
Everything points back to the reality tv show craziness.

what happened is that the current administration has a grip on the media like never before. only what they want to get reported is reported. the rest is distraction, distraction distraction...
fucking bush

As a rant, I've seen better. No one who is seriously interested in relevant, intelligent news watches television news shows. I honestly don't know where they get their news from. Today's television programming is aimed at the hoi polloi. You know them -- they're the people that ask you if you've seen the new Kate Hudson movie or intently and excitedly tell you how great the new Harry Potter book is. Morons that get an erection or cream at the latest Hollywood make-up or break-up. The mindless masses yearning to live their meaningless lives in utter stupidity.
"Spoooooooooon!"
