Satire from The Borowitz Report

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)CBS ignited a firestorm of controversy on Sunday night after it broadcast a shockingly graphic horror program without any viewer advisory.
Millions of viewers who unwittingly tuned in to the highly upsetting program recoiled in revulsion and took to social media to rip CBS.
Its appalling to think that you would even consider broadcasting such a thing at seven oclock, when children could be watching, one viewer wrote. Shame on CBS.
Another irate viewer complained that he was in total disbelief that CBS would air such disturbing content with no warning preceding it. I may never get those nightmarish images out of my head, he wrote.
Responding to the avalanche of criticism, the chief executive of CBS, Leslie Moonves, said that he doubted that a viewer advisory before the program would have made a difference. I knew what was coming, and I was still terrified by what I saw, he said.

(24,312 posts)They are grooming the next presidential nominee ratings bonanza. By 2020, Trump will be impeached, left office due to health issues, or just plain old news. It's not going to get better, it's going to get unbelievably worse. Ted Nugent also comes to mind. A well qualified, sensible Democratic candidate will get one fourth of the air time as whatever loon the Republicans run, just like Hillary Clinton did.
