Daytime, primetime, news: Dumber, dumber, dumbest!

I have always hated daytime television. There's nothing good on it except maybe a program or two like Oprah and Ellen. I absolutely HATE the soaps.....I have commitment issues in my personal life, how am I going to commit to watching a soap for 15 years? And if that wasn't enough, even primetime television got crappier! You can check that out here.

With most channels out, the only thing I could watch were the news channels like CNN and MSNBC (and occasionally FOX to balance things out!). But that was ruined last Thursday when the only thing I could watch on TV was a freakin' 'balloon boy' who wasn't even on the balloon!! WTF!!! I understand that the 24-hour news channels don't have enough news to cover for 24 hours (remember the Michael Jackson coverage?) but this is taking it a bit too far, don't you think? I don't want to watch some boy who wasn't on a balloon being called lucky, I don't want to see that family on TV for doing NOTHING, and I most definitely don't want to see a kid THROW UP on TV!!!! He was on the news for NOT flying in a balloon and then he was on the news for throwing up on national television while interviewing for the other news!! DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?? aaarrggghhhh!!

I would kill just so that the news channels had some actual news to report!!!! When did the media get so obsessed with non-doers? Hey, I haven't done anything with my life, does that qualify me for Larry King Live? Fame whores...ugh! Where did the things that mattered go? There was a time when you got celebrity news only on E!...now it's round the clock on all channels! You know you're in a shit-hole when you can remember your favorite celeb's bra size but not the country where Istanbul is located! Wake up and smell the poop...we're crapping ourselves!
