Why is the result of Heath Ledger's autopsy breaking news
but the admission of TORTURE by the CIA head has not even made it to cable TV news?

1. because it's not news... it's infotainment
meaning that it is completely devoid of anything newsworthy.

3. Hell how can they ignore that the 9/11 commission was fixed?
Those hit back to back and *poof* nothing. NOTE_I posted the thread in LBN about Ledger. I just figured that people would want to know and this SHOULD end the whole thing.

4. Because they only tortured THREE people and one was Al KKKKaeda.
Give the CIA a break will you? :sarcasm:

I don't know why anyone watches TV news. I might watch election returns... MAYBE. And I did watch one debate. Otherwise, why waste your time?

7. One time, in the way back,
in the olden days that movie, Idiocracy, would have made me laugh. We truly will be lucky if it does not come to pass because it is getting closer by the day. :hi:

6. I agree that it's silly, but I hope that this doesn't surprise you.

8. Because he was a much loved actor.
I don't fault poor Heath, both stories could be breaking news.
