I really cannot stand GMA anymore!
Ron Clairborn is discussing rising heating costs for this winter. How the fuck can he report that gas will br 50% higher and oil will be 1/3 higher WITH A HAPPY FACE SMILE? Please if you are reporting on BAD news, a happy smile isn't going to make things all nicey nice.

I will not even go on about the "reporting" of ABC entertainment shows. A "Christan" entertainment show?

Hey, ABC....report NEWS. There is the Fitzgerald investigation going on. Gee, too bad it wasn't a Democrat doing this shit.

Time to walk the dogs and calm down.

2. Funny you should post this
I was just thinking the same thing. Some "news" report about what is happening on "Survivor"!

What the hell?

THIS is news?

4. Haven't watched a morning show since the election;
Watch a local channel for traffic and the weather channel for weather and find I'm not totally pi**ed off by 8:00AM,( Most mornings a little "Howard" eases the pain too)...what passes for news is fluff and propaganda.

5. I'm with you...
Haven't watched tv since before the election, with exceptions for Daily Show & Letterman (once in awhile). I highly recommend this. An alternative (although these days, not such a great one...): turn on NPR in the morning for The Morning Edition. At least they report some news. Better yet: see if AirAmerica is on an AM station in your area. (Otherwise, they're on satelite or available via streaming audio on your computer...)

9. I turned off NPR
after 9-11 when they started drinking the Kool-Aid. Maybe they've gotten better, but one certainly won't find "news" on the entertainment programs.

6. I've despised it from the beginning
David Hartmann was a doofus.

I also was annoyed that they co-opted that great song......

11. Today sucks just as hard.
Your OP reminds me of Tim Weigel an asshat sprtscater in CHGO who tried to become an anchor. He sorta disappeard after YELLING a death-toll for some disaster as if her were giving the final score for the freaking world series. Happy happy happy!
