I've got a really good idea about the war coverage...

...and that is:

1) Pack up all the TVs in your house.
2) Give them to goodwill.

-or-

1A) Tell the cable co to cut your service (TV service that is, if you use a cable modem), so you can still watch tapes and stuff.

-and-

3) Use the internet to get all your news.

Seriously, at least limit your viewing time of the news to no more than 5 mins a day.

I'm tired of seeing all the overhyped american media. All I get here is MSNBC, CNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN, CNN-HN, and FOX. None are exactly fair and balanced, and I've only watched FOX lately anyway. I've stopped watching them. Reporters need to stop throwing hype and suspiscion around. Seriously, our country would be alot better if everyone stopped watching TV news, or just TV in general. Only good channel is History hannel and Comedy Central on Fridays.

My friends...it's time to move on. Time to read our news again. If you need a place to start:

http://news.google.com

Forget having just one news source. With google, you get 1000. Why? Because news is never balanced...

Sorry CNN. Sorry FOX. Sorry othr major local networks. You have lost at least one disgruntled viewer. I'll only watch news like maybe 10 mins a day at the most, and that would probably be for really important stuff...like Sept. 11 important or Columbia important. I'm tierd of all the cheezy graphics and the phony sound effects. I'm tired of all the overhyping and overbiasing. I'm tired ofall the spin and bends. No more games. I'm going TV AWOL.

Right. I'm about burned out on the media. One channel says it one way , it's alternative has a different story. Sick and tired of hearing about the candy a$$ war protestoers. Hit the internet news sites briefly to keep up to date . Back to Tech TV and Howard Stern.

Red, you missed out Cartoon Network. Don't you like Foghorn Leghorn?

And what about the Discovery Channel?

I made a point about turning off the TV a few days ago. TV is not showing the news, they are selling stuff (commercials) with some cool pictures in between to keep your attention. Rarely do you see any serious analysis.

I just sent a nice little E-mail to MSNBC for pics that they have on their site.

I usually watch FOX right before I go to bed.

Cartoon Network is good, but I only remember it exists when it airs 'he man and the lame-@$$ farters of the universe' or other crap like that.
