If there was any doubt how inadequate and irrelevant the TV news is,

[raccoon]

Friday past removed all doubt.

The lead story? Tiger Woods' apology for his affairs. :wtf:

[NightWatcher]

1. it's not news, it's corporate controlled propaganda mixed with infotainment

I love how people here are shocked and outraged on a daily basis

[Echo In Light]

12. Manufacturing Consent

[Subdivisions]

2. I quit watching teevee nooz when the Tiger thing first broke. Couldn't

take it anymore.

3. i avoid the news but i used to have the weather channel on in the morning to get

the weather..but now they've had to turn that into the latest unwatchable clown show

basically i have cable to get TCM

[rooftoprevolutionary]

4. what about paris hilton?

i remember when the lead story was paris hilton going to jail - after which they had updates on iraq and afghanistan...

the corporations may feed us shit and bile, but many americans eat it happily...not to be too graphic.

5. I know. It was all over the place so the TV was turned off.

[ThomWV]

6. But little mention of Justice letting the originators of torture off the hook

[libodem]

7. No Doubt

No fucking doubt, at all. The 4th estate is dead, and the 3rd estate of the Justice system is even deader, with that Conservative activist fuckwitz, Roberts, legislating politics from the bench, the fucking Congress is dead-locked, and The Presidential estate is asleep at the wheel. Yes, I'm having a fucking cynical sarcastic, fucking pissed off day at politics and the state of the world. It's so fucked up, that I now know why, I was so freaked out and furious after I saw 'Brazil', 25 years ago. Fucking thing has all come to pass. God Almighty, Hitler would be proud.

8. Today on CNBC: Blackberry Stole My Husband!

The joke is that I'm not kidding.

[City Lights]

9. I kicked my teevee nooze habit almost two years ago.

:woohoo:

[CanonRay]

10. I've pretty much quit watching

except for the weather forecast. Just Keith and Rachel for me.
