Funny question.

My peeve is almost news.

You almost got hit by a car...
Sir, you almost won the lottery...
Miss, you almost went on the flight...

They DIDN"T. they are not news....they are nothing.

Guess what, I have almost been an astronaut, billionaire, porn star that almost climbed mount everest....but i didn't. (not taking away from people that have worked to accomplish those things), but you don't interview the people that didn't actually become an astronaut, etc.

local tv news if it bleeds it leads style

talking heads introducing themselves over and over [when I could care less]

no real political investigation ever or much coverage of semi-legal thieves
following heath inspectors to grease spoons is about all they will do

national news
the nut rightwing claims they are liberal
they are CORPrat shills
just not extreme nut con's
and our nut con's see anything not extreme right as liberal

I saw more real liberals in the 50-60 era on the national news
then today by far

Yeah...much like the 8 minutes of campaigning that BO got tonight on ABC World "News"(national exposure), with Dianne Sawyer just about creaming her knickers for the whole "interview".

she is too old for me to pay attention to her knickers, but you should feel free to indulge yourself
