Mad You can't handle the truth.

What is it with the news nowadays? Have people forgotten that the news isn't a creative writing class? I will really have to take the piss out of Fox news for this. "Fair and Balanced News" Bullshit! These unprofessional daytime backslappers and irate balding middle aged men who hold screaming contests over politicaly correct coffee(their words,not mine!)at night are the worst kind of lying cocksuckers I can think of. But what really angers me is the fact that they are always saying they are fair and balanced. No, you spew sensationalism simply to get ratings and cover up things that make you and your political interests look bad. Thats not fair and balanced by any stretch of the imagination.
CNN got into a dick measuring contest with you, and so did all of the people who actually might have done something resembling pure news.
Now, we get such treats as Mancow, Chris Matthews, Hannity and Colmes, Greta Van Susteren and the almightily annoying, halfway sober, hypocritical Irish political shill himself Bill Oreilley. You piss me off because you show the same episode twice a night and my mother always has to watch you screaming ugly ass dorks.
I will end with a quote
"Because,keep in mind,the news media are not independant;they are a sort of bulletin board and public relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and purely tolerated at the whim of,those who hold economic power. If the parent company doesn't want you to know something, it won't be on. Period. Or, at the very least it will be slanted to suit them and barely followed up.
Enjoy your snooze." George Carlin

Anyway, if you are mad at them for sending the same news reports at different times, that you must understand that everybody aint home at the same time... Or if it is for that they dolnt tell whats really going on, and only saying what happend and cut out the worse stuff so peaple wont be offended, than YESS SIR REE! im wih you on that!! They do it here!

I, pearsonaly dont get offendid by your launguage but I really disslike when peaple do it! Still I'm quiet sure other peaple here do! So please cut the cursing!

Aye...such language is not approprate here. We do have kids on this board. This is also technically one big post of spam...as you are not inviting others to decuss the issue (that I can see). And as Xinos said...you never said what exactly they did to peeve you off.

Ok...I am off my mod soapbox now...


Edit: Oh...one more comment...I don't bother watching the news on TV. If I want to see what is going on in the world I go on there websites. That way you can pick and chose which stories you want to read about.
