How many times can the MSM say the same thing AGAIN...and AGAIN?
Why the F is this such a big story? How many hours upon hours upon hours can they say the same exact news again and again?

Maybe a few hours ago this sort of mass media hysteria was justified, but not now. This story is now a 1-2 minute news blip at most.

The Republicans are just taking a breather today!

1. Turn It Off!
You're wasting your time watching that garbage.

Wait until 8 EST for Countdown. I'm sure Keith will cover the story, and from a much more responsible and intelligent point of view.

3. How else are they supposed to fill up all that air?
Covering actual issues that require research and journalistic skill? Perish the thought!

8. "It's the INTRANGIGENCE of their leader!"
There. Keith's on, and he just played a clip of the Pretzeldent talking about the "intrangigence" of Kim Jong-il. Junior looked real proud of his new word.:eyes:
