5. Do it. I love Everybody Loves Raymond. Laugh. We need it!
My mother is a cross between George Castanza's mother and Raymond's mother so I really love watching!

Enjoy

6. I never boycotted it but every time my wife turns it on
I bitch so much she turns it right off again so I'll shut up. Last week I went fishing for 2 days so she probably had it on the entire time. She agrees with me that the CNN on air "talent" are all worthless whores but she can somehow tolerate them.

10. I have not watched the news since the final amount of the
fatalities was announced. I am tired of the incessant coverage. It is not good for the victims or their families or the poor parents of the killer. It borders on sadistic.

If they insist on coverage, then I say let them cover what is going on in Iraq with the same intensity and the same level of detail.

How many kids are shot over there or bombed on a daily basis? Are their losses any worse than ours? I don't think so, a family is a family is a family no matter what their ethnicity.

I suppose I could turn on ET and watch Larry Birkhead and Virgie and Howard fight over the baby....such a hard choice.

Thank goodness for XM radio and the 60's station and Phlash Phelps.

11. Welcome aboard!
It's refreshing out here in the "real news" world. And I used to be addicted to CNN. LOL.

12. This is all that will be on all the network news channels. They keep trying
to spin up more controversy. They were talking to some of the parents and asked the question regarding why the Dean did not notify students after the first shooting. No one showed any anymosity but a voice said, "Next Question." Our local news is keeping it on all the time too. I just want to watch Larry King Live tonight as this Hui guys swuitemates are going to be on.

14. Ahm witcha
I always boycott Bunny Blitzer anyway.  

Now - I live near Blacksburg, VA so I'm getting 24/7 on cable
AND local.  If my sweet spouse wasn't in Europe on a business
trip, I wouldn't know the rest of the planet had any news
today at all.

20. I get all the news I need from DU, Huffington Post and Common Dreams
and once a week from (gulp) The Richmond Times-Dispatch. There is absolutely no reason to watch Fluff Witless, Chris Mad-Spews or the rest of the idiot brigade. My television is tuned to USA every night for Law and Order: SVU or CI. If that's not on, we watch Discovery or National geographic. Those talking heads (and the people who get their news from them) are pathetic!
