Would this country be better off without the 24/7 news bullshit?

[No coincidences]

I honestly think it drives many Americans' fears -- they stay glued to this shit, become zombies and drones hanging on the every word of the agenda-driven media outlets, and BAM! Perception becomes reality, and we become one big collective blob of self-fulfilling prophecy.

you are correct sir. I don't even watch ESPN unless its on mute. ESPN has become TMZ.

If you want real sports coverage MLB network and NFL network are much better.

there is no news anymore it is all commentary, terrorism, and fear mongering. The thing is the vastmajority of the people dont pay attention anyway. But the ones that do are the same ones who feel more in tune and/or informed. So they feel they can then dictate what has to be done to the ones smart enough not to watch. and as I mentioned in another post the ones who dont watch are more than willing to listen to them because they believe what they are saying. because people are sheep.

What about the Drudge Report?

What about the Drudge Report?

God bless Matt Drudge, the only man with the balls to break the Monica Lewinsky story.

NY Times had the story, CBS News had the story, they all decided to sit on it, sweep it under the rug, hope it would go away, their thinking, "our man Clinton will get buried over this, we can't report it"

Without all this news media, we'd be like 40 years ago, when Cronkite and Rather fed us lefty slanted news, with no other options.

It's common knowledge CBS hates the right wing so much, they would either slant the news to the left, or out right lie and make shit up.

Just ask Mr. Rather.

That's the truth. His protoge Andrew Breitbart lights it up just as hard. ACORN, anyone?

God bless him?? All he does is pick and choose which stories he wants on his website and link them. All of them biased against the Democrats and most of them petty at best. On Thursday, he had 4 different mentions of Obama's lunch and how many calories it had. Who gives a fck????
