I Think Typical News Coverage Appeals to Idiots

I can't believe that some people depend on what is broadcast on television (and I don't care WHAT Channel you watch!!!!) for their news.
If you aren't reading a real newspaper, getting a good news magazine, then you aren't...

My husband and I were watching The Daily Show last night.  There was a bit about how Fox News' primetime ratings are triple that of MSNBC and CNN, with CNN at the bottom.  To compete, MSNBC and CNN have  started doing...

It's been years since I've watched any of the cable news channels. I get news off of the net and even then it's a mix of sources. For "mainstream" news I will read Google News but there are a handful of other sites I will read from, too...

The question being asked in the article is: Are the US covers different because of consumer demand? or is consumer demand different because of the covers?http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/11/25/1039957/-STUNNING:-Comparing-US-World...

I don't care one wit about Michelle Obama's bare arms.  I really don't.  I think the news has confused this with the right to bear arms.

To think that CNN was created by a war and sustained by a morbid fascination with pyrotechnics makes me shudder. 
I do believe they were in trouble two years ago and that their fortunes were reversed by the latest election...

The concept of having somebody in the tube, reading and analyzing news for me is really dumb.  I have a brain, thank you very much.  The worse is those so-called experts in this and that, sitting there telling us what to make...

I'm done!  I can't watch anymore.  I hate what politics has become in this country.I just listened to the elected leader of this nation screaming as he badmouthing the rest of our elected government  crooks.  He was spewing...

Thanks SomeWhatBent for this hilarious and yet really disappointing group. The fact that our news coverage is insulting to intelligent people is disappointing.
From now on when ever I watch the news I will think of this logo, LOL. I...

I know the Huffpo has changed since being sold, or selling out as some see it. But they still have Jason Linkins, who manages to skewer the main-stream media's coverage of things with admirable wit and creativity. He doesn't say much in...

I enjoy watching The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report in the evening. The genius of Stephen Colbert is that he captures the post-modern media constructed reality that obscures any sort of prioritizing of...

So every time I go to yahoo to check email, there's the big headline about a "superstorm" coming to California.  It went from a meeting of scientists talking about "superstorms" in the past in California  (last one150 years ago) and...

thats really all i wanted to say. FOX news sucks!
 

NEWSWORTHY or NOT?
 I want to know what is in your local newspaper?  Not the National Headlines – but yours LOCALLY.
Since we all come from different towns, cities, states & countries, I thought it might me more...

BBC World News when I want news. Other than "breaking news" stories (which 9 times out of 10 don't effect me) I find most of the news channels filled with drivel and opion, but no news.
 
Or, if I'm up to soerting...

This is why you are not informed if you don't watch Fox News.

And this is what we want you to think this week. That's it. Just watch the news.
