The news media is officially a total joke Options

[impala454]

Now that I actually get home in time for the evening news, I am realizing just how pathetic it has gotten. I just got done watching the Barack show... err.. I mean the NBC world news, and the whole time all they could discuss was how cool it was that Obama was having this big rally in Berlin of all places. Fucking Berlin. Why the fuck is a US presidential candidate taking a "tour" and spending all his time rallying OUT OF THE COUNTRY? Then they have to demonize McCain's mentioning that it's not something he would do. They dramatized it and kept coming back to it and showing his scripted speech and now they're having an obviously scripted interview. Then they showsome stuff about that cave collapse from way back, and his actual words, literally, verbatim, that described the cave's condition before the collapse were that it was "dangerously unsafe." Seriously, the news is an absolute joke nowadays. A contest of who can produce the worst, most controversial, "interesting" news possible. I wish there was some vehicle/show/media outlet one could use to simply get the damn news, i.e. what happened today. stock prices, news bits from around the world, sports scores. No adjectives describing to me how bad they feel something is and sound like they're from a third grader's first paper or pre-scripted interviews with policiticians they've chosen to back.
