How can the media cope with all this news?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Can you imagine what the newsrooms are like in the major newschannels and newspapers? One thing after another:- Rove resigns, Gonzales resigns, GOP Senator in doing feelys in public toilet, what is next we ask.

I feel so sorry for them it's not going their way!:applause: :sarcasm:

1. Hell, MSM can't handle the truth, anyway...

without asking the 6 major corporations that own them!

It's enough to make you wanna :puke:

3. I know--there's Michael Vick, and...I'm sure some other stuff happened.

But for now, I'll be on the edge of my seat as I watch two dozen of Michael Vick's former teammates speak about his situation on every cable news network, 24/7!

8. Michael who?

4. How are they handling it?

By tomorrow they'll be giving us the latest breaking news about Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan.

Or the scoop on Jenna's home pregnancy test.

5. Fox had this great story about the removal of tranfat from Dunkin' doughnuts.

Apparently they taste just as good as the old ones. :sarcasm:

7. Imagine how much real news they could deliver if they didn't have to glam everything up

We have 24 hour news channels. They are designed to bombard us with sensationalized information. They need people to tune in all the time. So we have to be scared shitless to turn away. Thus the news channels are actually the worst source for actual news because they have so dulled our senses that we can no longer tell the difference between Paris Hilton getting a Brazillian wax and the Constitution being shredded by the NeoCons because both are sold with the same emphasis.
