“We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who Comes on at five

Its interesting when people die-Give us dirty laundry”

You can read the differing reports about the same event side by side. Who watches TV news anymore? I can't get past the fact that they all look and act like pleasure models from Blade Runner - artificially enhanced faces, hair and bodies and bubbling over with over-acted artificial emotions.

This whole BS with every network big wig following Obama around the globe is sickening. They aren't even trying to put up a front of being unbiased anymore. I just got off the phone with a German customer. He was retelling his experience with Obama in Berlin today... very interesting take... very different than what is reported. info-tainment is bad enough, but what is really a problem is that it is near impossible to get any unslanted news… in either direction.

Being from Massachusetts it's almost encoded in my genes. My car radio doesn't need a tuner because 90.9 WBUR is the only station i care about. For most of the last 20 years I have trusted NPR implicitly because in my opinion they were the best at giving me the news WITHOUT telling me how i should feel about. Amazingly, unlike mos of my fellow citizens, i am quite capable of forming my own opinions.
