Poor MSRNC.. They are having a meltdown..
The reeeeeeeealy want to report on the Primary, BUT..

the Oscar nominations came out this am,and they have recently discovered that some celebs sneaked out the back door at the Globes, and then there's the Marth trial, and the possibility that Michael Jackson's kids are not really his, and there's still the buzz about JLo and Ben..... so what's a "news" network to do???

Well of course they do the MOVIE stuff.... and a short piece on the HUMOR to be found in humiliating the candidates on the late shows.. Of course they chose Craig Kilborn (CBS??..no Leno?? No red headed tall guy after Leno?? what's his name??)..

These crazy kids just want to laugh and kibbitz with each other.. aren't they cuuuuute???

2. On the bright side
MSRNC has ratings so low that they are almost unmeasurable.

3. Things were no better on CNN...
They were doing a report about the favorite albums and groups of the presidential candidates. The guest belittled all their choices, "very, bland, the Beatles". "Why would Clark pick Yellow Submarine, it's was mostly non-Beatles songs?", "Why didn't Edwards pick blue grass? Instead, it was Bruce."

When the anchor asked him about Al Sharpton's choices, he replied, "Oh, well he only replied to 2 of my questions, so I just made those up."

My daughter (10) asked me, "Are you watching the Daily Show?" and I replied, "No, CNN". She said, "That's the real news? They just make stuff up?" Sadly, yes.
