I just turned OFF the boob tube.
Until 7pm my time this evening.

Joey Scab was a fucking moron this morning, as was the fair and balanced reporting of CNN.

I have better things to do than listen to pundits speculate for hours on end. I'm turning on German TV now. No politics there, thank GOD.

I can't wait until this god damn election is OVER. It's been dragged out WAY too long.

Thanks for letting me :rant:

1. I only watch Washington Journal in the morning, .
but it doesn't come on until 7, so I don't know what I'll watch once school starts (next week...aaaaccckkkk!). I used to watch Imus because of the many wonderful guests he used to have on, but...his mouth and that stupid, bald, racist sidekick of his ended that...never did like that guy.

Maybe I won't watch anything, cuz I can't stand Scab and CNN isn't much of an alternative. I'd probably be better off just listening to some tunes while wandering around the net.

6. Imus was where I first started hearing the "real" Joe.
I used to listen to him on the radio in the morning. I was only vaguely aware of Joe, and then only as some plagiarist. But when I'd hear him on Imus, I'd think - man, this guy tells it like it is -- and he's smart!

3. That's what I am worried about
How much will I be able to stomach, the pundits should be taken out and drawn and quartered. I am just SICK to death of them.

4. I did the same.
My blood pressure, which is normally low, is about to go through the roof. If I see one more 'news' broadcast show McCain's ads for free, I may hurl something through the TV. Hubby would not be pleased! And then I'd miss Burn Notice!

Many on DU have mentioned how many right wing pundits they are letting speak about the dem convention. WHAT THE FUCK????????

We start each election in the hole because of the right wing propaganda machine we call our media. They are one of our biggest obstacles. Media, along with election shenanigans, makes our work as dems so much harder. Anyone who thinks this election is in the bag is deluded.
