The News

The newscasters around my town are soooo full of crap... they said we were going to get 8 inches of snow...and we got 12 inches. I left my dachsaund outside and it almost drown.:(

News is just another form of reality tv now. So of course I can't stand it.

I don't watch television period anymore, and if I did, the last thing I'd be watching is the news. Well, followed by Fox "News".

Hello it's six o'clock and you're watching Wales Today. A quick look at today's top stories:

And now the weather.

I only watch the news if there a big story that Im, for one reason or another, intrested in. Other than that, The Simpsons out does the 6pm news, and theres always something intresting on on C4 at the time when the 10 pm News is on....

chaos: Man, such a hatred of the news?

Rubedo: I think the reason they repeat such horrible things (the terror in Iraq) is because they are such a huge problem. If anyone here were to be suffering, I'm sure most of them would like to have it known so that they could get help, and/or aware people.

chaos: If you can't stand it though, the remote's handy. :D

Channel 4 news is one of my favourite things to watch. I love watching the two newsreaders making fools of various politicians and openly mocking them or telling them they're wrong or whatever. It's great.

I prefer to get my news from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Rubedo: xD

Yes I love hearing about rapings, murders, thefts, drugs and vandalisms for half an hour while they dangle the premise of showing me what the weather is so I'll keep watching through five sets of commercials just to hear them talk about how great their weather system is and having it all topped off with a "on a lighter note. . . " type send-off story which is somehow supposed to offset showing how horrible our society is otherwise.

edit: Oh, the Daily Show rox it, though.
