Note to MSM: I'm SICK of Your New "Infotainment Mode" and I'm TURNING YOU OFF
Advertisements [?]
This morning I woke up to the "news" of the Anna Nichole Smith trial that's been hyped by the media 24/7 this entire damn week. It was the very first damn story NBC Today Show brought up, and they've been talking about it ad nauseum. The next headline?

And this is big news...

Brittany Spears is now in rehab for the 3rd time.

I've had it. It's too damn much. While the world is holding its breath to see what will happen with Iran...while our troops our DYING in a never-ending war that Bush has just escalated...while the Democrats are voting on key measures such as an increase in minimum wage and scaling back the 2002 AUMF, while our rights and freedoms have been consistently attacked and our Constitution trampled upon, while Katrina survivors are STILL trying to rebuild both their lives and their communities, while Cheney may be the focus of a new investigation by Fitzgerald (remains to be seen) - ALL the MSM can blather on about is this absolute meaningless CRAP.

I've had it. It is HIGH TIME we ALL turn the channel. MSM has basically turned into a 24/7 Entertainment Network, and it is the most disgusting display I've seen in a long time.

Can I get an amen?
