Is this the items that we want to see on the news when turning it on to catch up on events...

a beauty contest gone awry because some loud mouth dipwad did not like her answer? why does this person have any viewing time is beyond me. at least with octo mom you had the bs crap of her wasting tax payers money...

no wonder we are in such trouble. this is the value system... a loud mouth flamer, insulting a beauty queen because she answered a question that has nothing to do with beauty...

i guess i will stick to watching House reruns.

no matter what channel it is any more...its all superficial OMG refuse....

Simple solution: don't watch. That's my position about crappy media. If you don't like it, don't talk about it, just don't watch or listen.
This (non-participation) also applies to threads on AnandTech, as well as other websites.

Ignore it then. Watch BBC World news and read the BBC website. The BBC is essentially the only MSM source that isn't biased, sensationalist propaganda.

Check your local newspaper websites for news closer to home.

Read books and newspapers and stop watching television. You'd be amazed how rich your world will become when you've unplugged from the stream.

24 hour news coverage is a horrible idea. I hate how CNN, Headline News etc. will cover a story without any details available, so they resort to insinutating non-facts (usually with child abductions, why are these so fascinating? They are tragic, but seriously, not for 72 hours straight).

Haven't had cable since September (mainly because the Sammy 1080p panel stayed behind when I moved) and don't miss it at all. I prefer the internet and newspapers for information.

Dumbass...

You compare two worthless pieces of media and make a worthless thread about it.
