Are you still watching the late night shows? |
|
The Daily Show, Leno, Letterman? I admit, I did not watch any of them since Nov. 2. I guess I don't find anything funny or entertaining in the news since then.

1. less and less - I didn't like their kerry jokes - leno insults his guests |
|
and his making fun of kim and chip - and ross the intern - just gets to me - he has gotten nasty over the years - he uses rotten humor - not funny to me -

2. The daily show, only news on teevee |
|
after that, NO teevee over here, and the daily show, not every day either... and that is only because my husband turns it on... if not, I don't think the teevee would go on, PERIOD

3. Not me either, when I began my boycott of the high profile news |
|
propaganda, I had no choice but to include them, they go back and forth trying to play both sides...
I have just had more than I can take...

They tend to joke about Bush much more harshly than they do Kerry!
Some recent examples:
"But down in Florida in the early voting, there were computer glitches, confusing ballots, long lines and chaos. And when President Bush heard about this, he said, 'Mission accomplished!'" --David Letterman
(Kudos to Letterman for bringing attention to the Nov 2 election fraud in such a clever, thoughtful, and amusing way!)
"Did you see how happy President Bush was yesterday when he found out he won? Man he couldn't decide whether he should give a victory speech or announce the invasion of Iran." --Jay Leno
"President Bush was really sweating this, because he knew if Kerry won, he's probably make Bush go to Iraq and finish his National Guard service." --Jay Leno
"Earlier today, John Kerry went hunting for geese in Ohio, but President Bush says Kerry only did it for the photo op. The weird part is that Bush said this while wearing a flight suit and standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier." --Conan O'Brien
"Over the weekend, President Bush told a crowd of supporters in Florida that he is the best protection from the draft. That's not true. Bush's dad was the protection from the draft." --Jay Leno

6. Nope I hardly watch tv, at least the kind with commercials |
|
Occasionally I'll watch the Daily Show. On my satellite Dish I watch Democracy Now a progressive news show. I watch Link TV and Free Speech TV and HBO on Dish and that is all. I do not miss it.
CNN is on at my job, but if I'm lucky I can mute it as long as nobody else wants to see it. Usually I'm lucky.

7. And here I thought I was the only one. |
|
I normally watch Letterman religiously, but since Nov. 2, I think I may have watched him once or twice. It's even hard to watch The Daily Show right now. sigh.

8. I watch Letterman occasionally, have NEVER liked Leno |
|
The thing that ALL of them do that drives me nuts ...The constant Clinton jokes..
Where are the Poppy jokes...or the carter jokes.. or the Reagan jokes..
Clinton is not president, and I wish they would stop it.. I have written to them , but have not received a reply..
Every clinton joke they do is a slap in the face to the current NY senator, whether they realize it or not..
and it's a boon to *² because it reinforces their "moral values" nonsense..

10. Oh, they realize it allright |
|
and, I think, this is the purpose of needling Clinton.
While I do not watch them, I cannot escape the occasional mention the next day on the regular news program, like CNN HN or even NBC Today (have this on for the local weather and traffic.)
