6. Any "news" story about someone's "sex life" is worthless
As for Britney, Prince Charles, Kobe, or anyone else, I could give a rat's patooie about their sex life. I'm much more interested in my own. But then again, I'm not a peeping-Tom Repub.

9. Other -- "Jobless Recovery" or "Economy Improving"
Pure bullshit. John Edwards said it best, "...it's not a recovery if there aren't any jobs."

Downsizing has enabled businesses to improve their bottomline, but that profit goes into the pockets of CEO's & shareholders. Employees, meanwhile, are still in fear of losing their jobs.

13. Can't believe you missed this one
The Rosie trial? / hearing? / who's on first? / whatever thing.

I have no idea what's going on, but darn it, it's meriting HUGE attention on MSNBC today, so it must be just as worthless as those mentioned. :eyes:

14. Laci
I'm getting sick of all this " true crime " crapola. There are plenty of people murdered every day and I don't like the way the media pick one murdered or missing person and go on and on about it while ignoring more important matters that affect more people. If I wanted the details of a murder, I would read a true crime book.

17. Also...
Notice how they skipped the really interesting story of a beautiful, young woman, athletic and in good health, who turned up dead in a congressman's office, the cause of death, a blow to the head?
