Well, MSNBC has gone to permanent "Breaking News".
They are drooling over the bloodshed in Israel and Lebanon, the fires, etc.

Shameless, parasitic asses.

4. Death and destruction make for good ratings
I'll bet FOX News is busy preparing graphics for the upcoming war with Iran. They are having a wet dream over the prospects of showing those US cruise missiles hitting targets in Iran. Shock and awe, baby!

6. I've Always Thought This Was An Abused Phrase
"BREAKING NEWS"

One day I saw that and what followed was the earth shaking news that Natalie Holloways mom had a new idea as to the cause of her disappearance.

Breaking? Hardly
News? Not even close

8. Yup, they got their "war" on.
I expect that Monday we will see a host of new "experts" on Iran and Syria.

10. Someone pointed out yesterday "BN" is now just a marketing term.
Sure seems that way.

11. Whatever happened to CNN's "The New War"
That was their header when we invaded Afghanistan, and * told us how this was a "different kind of war." How many "new wars" have we had since then?
