Anderson Cooper to appear on Larry King live tonight, talking about his brother's suicide. Not interested, why do I care about you Anderson? You are a bubble-headed bleach blond that reads the news. OK maybe it's gray or salt & pepper. That's beside the point. You suck. Also CNN, advertising for your inbred sibling TIME doesn't qualify as "news" either. What are you doing? Reporting about TIMES coverage of the Haditha massacres? CNN, what a joke network. And quit reviewing XBOX video games or Jennifer Aniston's latest DVD and reporting THAT as news on that bastard step child 'Headline News' as well. And Glenn Beck, I've met dishwashers at the local Denny's who are more articulate than you. I've been to the restroom of same Denny's and read political commentary carved into the stall that was more poignant than your daily diatribe of right wing buffoonery. Glenn, it's obvious that your mother hated you, it's seething within the fear you project. And on a final note CNN, you people suck.

2. While I do have sympathy for him losing his brother
I do agree with the majority of your points. I am tired of the media hush on what Americans should know, need to know and better start knowing. Our troops are losing their minds, our 'gubmint' is destroying our country and "news" is hearing about "newspeople's" lives?????????

My God, we are repeating the 60s complete with a new My Lai but at least back then, the news was still JOURNALISM!!!!!!!!!!! Bring back the FREE PRESS!!!!!! We all need to keep tossing this crap they try to feed us back in their moranic faces and demanding NEWS! Why can't Larry King either do news or shut up? He's just gossip...and Ester-C. :puke:

3. Modern media is full of that shit.
They spend more time covering the media coverage of a topic than covering the topic itself. It's fucking disgusting.

6. The "alternative" media is fairly prone to this as well, though.
The trouble is an uncritical audience.
