This Rita *needs a cough drop* Cosby coverage of the TENNESSEE FUGITIVE ARMED ALERT TERROR ESCAPE NEWSFLASH!!! report is just frigging out of this world. Now she's talking to the suspect's brother, or is it second cousin once removed? Hey kids now they're showing video of the scuzzy motel room -- kewl!
Now I understand that feeling I had 15 years ago, when I decided NOT to follow my dream of becoming the next Linda Ellerbee. Was that my intuition telling me that in the next century, journalism as I knew it, would be deader than a door nail? I cannot for the life of me understand how people in this industry sleep at night.
Well, hells bells I guess I can -- Ambien and Jim Beam.
MSM = un-fucking-believable :banghead:

they are just, not in journalism type jobs.
edit, add... Why pay Walter Cronkite, when most people would think that Triumph the insult comic dog, is just as good.

3. Wasted my degree in Journalism in the corporate world. |

There's plenty of whitewash there too, believe me.
Gave it up back in '87. Couldn't take the duplicity any longer.

5. Its seriously like one of those distopian sci-fi movies. |

Like "The Running Man". People getting mowed down and the role of the TV is to provide a stinking distraction...:(
