CNN & MSNBC suck!
Here we stand on the verge of (the possibility of) history-changing indictments, AND the earthquake in Pakistan, AND the mudslide in Guatemala, AND the continuing clusterfuck in Iraq, etc., and they are interviewing Martha Stewart (CNN) and Hugh Hefner (MSNBC) during the middle of the evening.

WTF gives?

4. Funny you should mention that ...
... Rita Cosby is interviewing her mother right now. Very sad, but still ... what about the NEWS?!?

5. NO WAY!
Jeez, I really thought that had faded off the MSM radar...I do agree it is sad, but there is so much more going on.

at the pathetic news coverage of the war....Plamegate, etc....the last news that seemed like NEWS, was Anderson Cooper tearing that senator a new one after Katrina...Why don't they do that with Bush?

3. wait til the indictments come
then they'll turn to the sharks, or maybe they'll come up with a new Clinton scandal.

8. Get your priorities straight.
This is America and in America we highly value our "stars". Where is Pakistan, anyway?

12. Cult of Personality
Welcome to the NEW United Sates Of America.
We aim to entertain.
The WHOLE fucking country is one BIG Branson, Missouri.
LOOK!
It's TAB FUCKING HUNTER on CNN last night.

Tonight it's Hef and Martha.

And THESE people will vote in the next election.

Man, I'm a betting soul.
Diebold and these assholes are a formidable pair.

13. You are watching during the WRONG hour.
Tune in MSNBC an hour earlier for Countdown. Especially tomorrow night for the special report linking 13 "terror threats" to specific times when there was bad news about the Prez.

Please...if you watch Rita Cosby, you should not be surprised that you see garbage. To watch the REAL news you have to tune in an hour earlier.

15. Tell me about it.
I tried to watch CNN or MSNBC for a few minutes at about 10:50AM EST this morning and was bombarded with a lot of bullshit. I figured at the top of the hour they'd start speaking about something worth listening to but the General Electric News Channel was too busy endlessly whoring for Bush (he had done an interview with Matt Lauer earlier and they were pimping that out) and CNN had Limbaugh's lover anchoring on there so I didn't even bother to try to watch that.

16. Why on earth are you watching Rita Cosby?
Anyone with any sense doesn't do THAT. Watch Keith, he's the only one worth anything.
