9. Was the transponder turned off? Where did it go? Can we find it??? Aliens???

[okaawhatever]

2. Real news was hijacked by the Republican party circa 1986. nt

3. Real news

Real news is what Europeans search for on our TV channels when they visit. Then the eyes look like fried eggs when it cannot be found.

4. The dog and pony news shows have taken over.

5. I may give them a pass on this one

There is nothing new to report. That would mean not talking about it. But given the mystery, who can do that? Just forget about it until something comes up to report. That takes a while.

6. Blitzer and the idiots at CNN are as bad as Blitzer is at

Celebrity Jeopardy ...a fugging disaster

[City Lights]

7. Real news vanished a long time ago.

8. Real news has reappeared

at El Jazeera America.

10. Reminds of summer 2001 when it was "All Chandra, All the Time" on every network.

It was appalling. I was dismayed about how endless speculation drove out any real "news".

Then 9-11 happened and we had real coverage for a while until the "endless speculation" began again.

14. Before Chandra, the nineties had "All OJ, All the Time." I was appalled by the media then. nt

[Ilsa]

11. And this is why we watch Aljazeera for news.

Aljazeera America is our new morning news program. No supernatural contemplations, no Joe Scab, no Matt Lauer interviewing spouses of sex predators.

12. Great cartoon

[grilled onions]

13. Days Of The Roving Reporter Used To Mean One Who Traveled....

and not the comments of Karl Rove and company!
