Everyone on Larry King is just lying through their teeth.
First, the lady who claimed to see video of Terri from 10 minutes ago. Now, another lady is saying that the "ABC" poll that put Bush's approval rating at 43% (uh, it was CBS!) asked people if they wanted to be in a coma. She was absolutely sure of herself, but the ONLY recent poll that mentions a "coma" at ALL is a FOX poll.

LK keeps saying, "Well, WHY NOT keep her alive? Why not? Why not?"

I think that the conservatives are literally falling apart.

14. And C-SPAN. I don't think I could survive w/o C-SPAN
Especially their coverage of the convention and the non-stop continous coverage RNC protest for all 4.5hrs.

6. Who Is Larry King?
Why are you even watching CNN? I sometimes watch for a minute or two, about once every couple of weeks. But basically I've avoided all forms of news, national & local, since November. Also cut my paper from 7 days to just weekends, and it's much nicer.

I confirm what I already know when I read posts like this one. The bias in the media is deliberate and sustained, and there is no point in even giving it due credit by wasting my time watching it. I'd much rather read the "real" news on the internet.

4. If you consider how lop-sided the polls are on govt involvement
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 09:33 PM by Ilsa
in this case, and that a majority of the respondents would rather be not kept alive artificially, there might be enough dissent to split this party. The moderates might finally see the controlling nutcases for what they are.

Part of the problem, though, is that even though the polls show clearly that the religious conservatives are in a tiny minority on this, the MSM keeps presenting this issue as one that is "dividing the country". Horseshit! People are very united in their opinions on this.

10. I Used To Respect The Media
Hard to believe, and now I think they're all a bunch of phonies. Even the honest ones. It's just the way they operate, and I just can't forgive them.

15. Same Here! I used to respect news when reported by people like..
Walter Cronkite, Huntley Brinkley (not sure of spelling), and people who just reported the news accurately and without all their celebrity crap we get nowadays..Seems like they all have to be a frigging star these days! I know some are not called news but talk shows etc but it seems like these talk show hosts try and make a mockery out of everyone and everything.Anything for ratings, attention, and a buck anymore!

8. I quit LK permanently after the way he treated Michael Schiavo
I never watched him all that regularly to begin with, but that last one did it.

Another gripe I'd like to make is that the media have showed that fraudulant video over and over. They keep interviewing liars and quacks. They keep putting that bastard Randall Terry on the air.

I noticed this, but when my mother started bitching I knew the kool-aid was starting to wear off. She had to see this crap in order to open her eyes. I'm still working on her.

12. Larry "The Crypt Keeper" King Is The Most Hideous Looking Person On TV
His interviews are worse. He lobs softballs for hour on end to brain dead celebs and whoever is featuring in the tragedy of the week. Surely god does not exist or he would have dropped a bolt of lightening on that guy long ago.

16. How many wives has LK had?
He asked Michael a question one night about why he would care about his wife -- she's been gone to him for so long and he has another woman in his life -- all I could think of was -- just because you have thrown them over right and left, you scum sucker! Michael was very eloquent saying I am capable of loving more than one person.
