i can't watch Rachel any more. [View all]

i can barely stand to listen to NPR.
why should i be surprised that CBS puts out a poll saying that romney would beat Obama? there is NOTHING on the airwaves that i can tell that isn't 24/7 REPUBLICANS.

and it's not the kind of news the people need: their obstructionism, their elitism, their total indifference to the problems of the people of this country. it's "news" like so and so did a town hall here, and that guy gave an interview there, and the election, election, election.

they don't deserve that validity. it's like a self fulfilling prophecy. and i'm just sick to death of it.

corporate media SUCKS.
