Out with Laci, in with Kobe

[jenk]

ugh, and they're going to milk this for all its worth

I don't care about Laci Peterson

I don't care about Kobe Bryant

1. You too?

So much is going on in the world, and in our country - and all we hear about is this drivel. Why do I keep thinking of the Roman concept of bread and circuses?

[LeftCoast]

2. Heard anything about WMD, Iraq or more Bush LIES?

Apparently, Rove's new batch of Kool-Aid has been delivered AND consumed.

3. Like it or not...

.... this is the crap you hear in the media because it is the crap that gets eyes and ears, period.

The average fool American wants to be compensated for his total lack of a life by continuous titillating infotainment.

The networks are happy to oblige :)

4. Ordinarily I'm for anything that keeps vaw in the public eye...

but no news is no news. Kobe came to court. Riding around in a Bronco or skipping the country would be news. This was just live coverage of him doing what he was supposed to do---plus getting wanded, which may be normal procedure but it puts the defendant in a certain light. :thumbsdown:

5. I was thinking the same thing today

* should thank both.

6. In other words stay turned to CNN - FOX - MSNBC

Never mind the voting machine scam.

Never mind the 911 Investigation.

Never mind the lies junior told the American people.

Never mind the Cheney Energy papers.

My advice is to stay away from the whore networks.

Seek news from PBS, NPR, C-span stations, News International, BBCand World Link. Cuz if we don't junior will remain on the throng for another four years.

Fuck Kobe, and the Lacci thingy. Get smart

7. Kobe:

The new weapon of mass distraction!

8. shut off my cable last week

cause adelphia screwed over everyone who didn't upgrade to digital by cutting back the broadcast channels from 70 channels to 20 (but still charging the same rate) basically we were being punished for not choosing the new service.

i sure as hell won't miss cable news. i haven't watched it in about a month, but just reading this thread reminds me of everything that is vile and repugnant about it. i bet over at fox, greta is having wet dreams over this one.

9. Who?
