3. The NBCs are tacky. They took 40 years of class and threw it away
and invented a king's court jester and juggler form of joke on the public. A home for controlled news and propaganda artists.

They lie, omit, exaggerate, and pimp for Republicans.

They did it by selling out to GE - a grand partner of the Republican Operative Right Wing Cabal. (The capitals are mine.)

They are one fifth of a grand Republican success. The theft by Republican partner corporations to deprive us of balance.

4. it sickens me that so-called news agencies have to play
music to set a mood. The news, even the legitimate news stories are cheapened by the sountracks.

5. I wanted to chatch the KO repeat at midnight -
Imagine my surprise when I turned to the channel and heard Rita Cosby breathlessly asking a miner how he felt about his friends being found alive. I was happy to hear the news, but so disappointed to hear it from Rita.
