I want the old Headline News back
You know, the kind where no matter what time of day you tuned in, in thirty minutes you could get a Cliff notes rundown of news, sports, business, and entertainment. Not a bunch of dopey, lame-ass talk shows.

We have a Category 2/3 hurricane about to make landfall in a major American city, and what's on Headline News?

Glenn fucking Beck engaging in a circle-jerk pity party with Michael Medved and some no-talent Hollywood hack who's bitching that he can't get ahead in the entertainment industry because he's a conservative.

:wtf:

6. And there are unbelievable synergies of nerve grating....
when he's paired with Michael Medved.

2. Does Ted Turner still have enough money to buy back his networks from AO-Hell/SlimeWarner?
He needs to get CNN and Headline News back right NOW, fire the assholes like Beckkk, Lou Dobson, and Leslie Blitzer, and get some fucking journalists back in there. Hell, I'd even put up with Pat Buchanan on Crossfire, if they went back to the old school format.

7. I believe Ted has said that he regretted selling CNN/HN...
...after he has seen what happened to both networks.

3. Glenn Beck has to be one of the most obnoxiously annoying people on the planet.
Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give him a TV show?

4. If it's not Glen Beck, it's Nancy Grace
You all know Nancy's show. It's the one that should be renamed "Caylee is still missing".

I hate their new format. It reminds me of when MTV stopped showing music videos.

8. Both need to be sent to a deserted island....
...so they can annoy each other to death.

5. I can't believe Beck still has a job on a mainstream channel

After all the racist things he's said. Actually, I guess I can believe it. Sigh. :(
