Why do we care about the media whores anyway, their ratings are for shit
seriously on a good day they get like 100,000 viewers. Now it is different from the debates and so forth but even then the whores could not even try to spin the debates in Shrubs favor.

Honestly when things like spongebob and who wants to marry my dad? get millions more viewers why do we give a shit about CNN?

And just so you guys reading this get all warm and happy more people watch the Daily Show than the O'Rielly factor and oh yeah, studies say Daily Show viewers are the most informed people in the country. I love it!

We have scientific studies to show that we are the smartest, did you have any doubt?

So do what the majority of Americans have been doing for years, turn that shit off.

1. The watchers of non-network programming are "key influencers"
who are intellectually (sic) influential on their social subgroups. So the propaganda impact of the wrong wing corporate media conspiracy extends signifigantly beyond only those that actually watch the programming.

The good thing about the sociological theory of "key influencers" is that the people who populate this site and others like it are also key influencers of their social subgroups and the impact of the information dissemenated though web channels extends beyond the few who actuall post here. This is how the tide is being turned in the collective consciousness regarding this election, and how President Kerry will be elected.
