MY GOD. MORNING NEWS SHOWS SUCK!!

[Clark2008]

Sorry for screaming first thing in the morning, but this is RIDICULOUS!

The mainstream media is having an orgasm over Scott Peterson - a nobody - getting sentenced to death.
You know what, MSM - I DON'T CARE! I feel sorry for any family who has a loved one die, for any reason, whether that be murder, a car wreck or cancer. But this shit is STUPID. The Peterson's weren't famous. And, unfortunately, spouses kill spouses all the time, in every state, in every county, in every city.

ENOUGH!

MSM: you won't cover something of importance, like potential election fraud and voter intimidation or how many soldiers died in Iraq today, but you'll scoop up heaping, helping doses worth of SHIT to feed the American people so we're too dumb to notice we're getting SCREWED. I hate you, now.

1. That's why I hope they just kill him soon...

so we don't have to hear about it anymore.

But it takes a long time to execute in California, so there are years of appeals with which to keep the media busy.

[Upfront]

3. Next

They will bring back Michacl Jackson. It is sick.

[Shopaholic]

4. And waiting in the wings are the Robert Blake and Jackson

trials. Face it, this shit is like crack cocaine to them. They can't stop themselves. And people in other countries want to know why the American public is so ill-informed and how they could for one second believe *'s bullshit and lies--all they would have to do is watch our MSM for ten minutes and all would be revealed. I don't know whether to puke or to cry sometimes when I try to watch these clowns.

6. MSM is BushCo's enabler, supporter, apologizer, mouthpiece

[TayTay]

10. And it's planned

This type of news is cheap and easy to get on the air. It doesn't require much money or investigative time. Bread and circus for the masses.

This is what happens when all the major sources of news are corporatized. We get non-news and an endless emphasis on celebrity trials and celebrity nonsense. Important news that might require time and money to investigate just gets no priority.

The best news in years on the SCLM is the UCC lawsuit to challenge the licenses od two news stations in Florida based on their denying the UCC ad. We need to support that action and call these 'news' stations to task for not serving the public trust.

14. MSM = People Magazine now a days n/t

[Tripmann]

5. Blatant diversion,

Keep the sheeple from finding out the big news by filling the airwaves with this crap.

[Eurobabe]

7. I cured my addition to news on 11/3

Haven't watched it for over a month. I'm blissfully clueless except for what I read on DU and a couple of other sites.

I like it that way. -C4C

[Cobalt Violet]

8. And thus your more informed than the ones who watch the poop.

[propagandafreegal]

9. Yeah, me too. I don't watch unless I hear about something on DU that I

should watch or tape.

[barbaraann]

13. Cancelled cable, banished my television to an unused room.

Thank goodness Air America is almost everywhere in the Pacific Northwest now so I don't EVER listen to rightwing radio anymore, either. :-)

[devinsgram]

18. Air America is streamed 24/7

Haven't watched cable news in over a year. I learn more from AAR and the internet then I ever did from idiots on cable news.

[tngledwebb]

11. It's too horrible. Get help right away, as an antidote try reading

UK or EU papers online, or the BBC, or Buzzflash and other lib blogs. Read the Daily Howler for the history of MSM crimes, if you can bear it.
But for your own mental and physical health, please, stay away from USA MSM, especially TV!

[thanatonautos]

12. Yeah, the MSM sucked last night too. 5 hours on Scott Peterson

and no mention of 10 US soldiers, 13 Iraqis killed
over the past two days.

Only Olbermann had anything on the Ohio fiasco.

[txindy]

15. "Morning News Shows"

An oxymoron if ever there was one.

There are very few news shows left on television. In fact, we can probably count them on one hand with fingers left over. What we have left, besides the few good shows, are corporate opinion spots filled with talking heads.

Once we get rid of Junior and his thugs, we're going to have to fix that.

[tngledwebb]

17. I think we have to fix THAT first.

Anyone you know with enough cash to buy back CBS and NBC from GE and Westinghouse, or CNN and the WaPo from the CIA?

[progressoid]

16. They still have those 'morning shows'? Hmmm, I thought that would have

died a long time ago. Is that irritating Willard Scott still alive?

:silly:

[OneTwentyoNine]

19. California+Liberals+Brutal killings=Don't ever vote for a Democrat

Sound crazy? Do you think this shit would have gone on for a year if he'd been from North Dakota??

[KharmaTrain]

20. AP Radio News...Morning Headline: Iraq Dead

Every morning I throw on AP News at the top or bottom of the hour, almost every day the first story is the latest news from Iraq, and they almost always lead with it.

Many days this is the only place I hear about what's taking place as CNNservative, MSGOP and Faux want us to have "happy news"...be glad that Scott Peterson's gonna fry and that our brave military and this regime is "heroic".

The ludicricy of that award ceremony for Tennet, Bremer & Franks yesterday was the epitome of the arrogance of this regime compiled with the total domination and submission of the major media outlets.

The thing is there are 57,000,000 of us out here who aren't buying this shit and getting more pissed by the day. The bridges haven't just been burnt, the river has turned into an ocean. The media's credibility is not only suspect, it's now believed by many to be purposesly lying. The hypocrisy in this country is astounding.
