I’m afraid that if I respond to this you’ll come back to find a lock on the door!

It's not one particular channel, it's a particular media owner. Nuff said:brow:

Best thing you can do is just to throw your tv out the window.

I really couldnt live without my tv, even though 70% of what I watch is totally useless.

Oh how I wish I could through my TV out the window. But I love the science channel, Discovery, HBO (hooked on John from Cincinati (sp?)), :smash:

Has anyone watched a show called My Super Sweet 16? It's a vomitus look into the lives of people that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, that's $100,000.00 and more, on a sweet 16 birthday party. Vapid, self centered, sick. :flare:

Would consider doing that if I could only get Rupert and Rush and Karl and Dick to be passing just below all at the same time.

YES. I...cannot describe to you in words how much I loathe that show and the people on it. Makes me sick when I watch it.
I just recently switched to not having cable anymore, but I never really watched it. I mean, I like the History Channel, Science Channel, Discovery Channel, Boomerang, (I WOULD watch Nick Toons if I got it! And the Sci-Fi channel! D: ) and VH1 Classic. I'll miss it, I guess, but the computer makes up for all that, really.
I mostly watch old/canceled TV shows on DVDs. :)
But I would have to say a lot of the news broadcasts are a pack of lies. Really biased. I'd have to say the only news broadcasts I'll watch are Anderson Cooper's or Katie Couric's news broadcasts.
Cable is a bit better regarding what's on it. I can hardly stand the "regular" TV. Guh. Such...mind-numbing...poo.

kiobe> It's funny to watch the major network news, I watch them for comedy content.

Are there any objective news stations that you guys know of? I would love to actually know what's going on in the world and with our government but I refuse to believe anything that is said by the local networks. And the newspapers aren't any better. The only news that I have been getting is from a couple MN radio stations and from having discussions with people online. Both of these have their positive and negative qualities as I'm sure all of the other media bull **** will as well.

It HURTS to watch the local news. Really, it does. Mucho Deep Hurting. I think I remember reading an interview with Ray Bradbury and he said that if you watch the local news your mind will turn to jelly. I think he's not too far off.
