I'm just watching Season 2 on Netflix.

OWS has just started and Romney is campaigning for the nomination. Even though everything happened in 2011, I'm still loving it!

What the news could and should be?

However, "The Walking Dead" is a far better show, depicting the real political landscape of America today. All our institutions fail, it becomes a dog eat dog world, and everyone wants to destroy what is left of your brains and humanity.

We have the Aaron Sorkin fantasy of "The Newsroom" which is enjoyable and dare I say uplifting, in contrast to the stark reality and inevitable doom and depression of "The Walking Dead."

"The Walking Dead" recently beat "Sunday Night Football" in viewership. Wow. Better than football? I rest my case.
