Ignorance is Bliss

Today is a very important day in the United States. The House Judiciary Committee heard Rep. Kucinich's arguments for impeaching the President. However, if you get your news from the websites of the local tv stations you wouldn't know it. There is no mention of it on the WESH homepage, even under politics. But it looks like the Britney Spears custody settlement is at the top of the page. How about WFTV? Nope! But there's the Britney Spears story again. Local 6 is sure to have it, right? Nah. They do have Britney, though. As for our local FOX affiliate? Nothing about Kucinich but apparently Stan Lee will make an appearance in the new X-Men movie. Even the Sentinel has nothing about it on their homepage, although they do have a story about Matthew Broderick cheating on Sarah Jessica Parker. I always hear about the liberal media and their leftist bias, but this should prove once and for all how that is most certainly bullshit. The bias is a financial one. The majority of Americans are idiots who care more about the lives of the rich and famous than the issues that actually affect their pathetic lives. Who needs CSPAN when you have TMZ? Since celebrity gossip is what gets viewers, that's what gets media attention. They have to go where the money is and it's not in a room full of a bunch of ugly old men talking bad about the man who keeps us safe from terrorists. Shame on you news channels for having no balls to spotlight something that matters and shame on you citizens for being too stupid to be angry about this. May Robert Novak run over each and every one of you. Fucking idiots.

THANK YOU!! I don't know how many times I've turned on the news only to see a Paris Hilton story and sat screaming at the TV, "THAT IS NOT NEWS!!!!!!"
Glad someone else notices this crap.
