TOTALLY FUCKING WORTHLESS AND OUT OF TOUCH THE US "NEWS" MEDIA IS?

1. That's why I quit tuning in.

Seven years ago this month, when I separated from my last husband. He was a confirmed tv and radio news junkie, so I saw and heard it all. When I didn't live with him any more, I simply never turned it on again. Ok, I turned on tv news once. Once, because my oldest son called and told me to, and then yelled at me when I refused. So I turned it on, watched for 10 minutes, and turned it off. That was on September 11, 2001, and I haven't watched or listened since.

I read newspapers and online news sources. I read them with a critical view towards media bias. I seek out alternative non-mainstream sources to balance the stories given in mainstream press.

I'm as informed as everyone else, except for "what __________said on ______________." I don't care what ___________ said. :shrug:

6. well, FYI, even though you don't care,

Tim Russert's show should be called "DC Circle Jerk"

10. I'll keep that in mind, lol.

Russert...I did watch a few primary debates, early in the season. Isn't he the jerk that asked the ufo question?

LOL

11. I think "invertigrates" is a rather charming neologism. It may have some potential.

7. To call them invertebrates is an insult to all spineless creatures

Invertebrates at least have a function in the environment.

8. I noticed a long, long time ago

but only tuned out for good on November 4, 2004.

The only news I've seen since then is a snippet or two on the local station if I've tuned in too early to catch the weather. The weather is the only thing that has a chance of being right, other than the sports scores.

9. one of the big reasons i havent had a TV for 10 years.

and people will say to me 'don't even want to watch the news?' i no longer bother to explain to them how totally worthless TV news programs are.
