Politics for too many people has become a form of entertainment...
Edited on Fri Nov-09-07 12:17 PM by wake.up.america
If you are really committed to a cause you don't have time to worry about the twins of Bush and with whom they are dating. That's not important. I really don't give a fig, if Rudy once wore a dress. I do care if Milt has sons who don't volunteer for Iraq. I could care less, if Hillary has great legs. I am concerned that she voted to support Bush's intrusion into Iraq. I could care less, if Rush weighs 350. I would rather find ways to help to the kids in Iraq.

In fact, I would like to see Keith O stay away from personal insults of Ann Colter and concentrate on such things as the number of people who will freeze to death this winter on the streets of America.

Let's get back to discussing how something can be changed for the better instead of being witty.

Hats off the Nancy Greggs who does what I wish could do - no sensationalism, just the facts and with passion.

2. Its about ratings and corporate interests
Low ratings=cancellation
substantive reporting that conflicts with corporate interests=cancellation
