Fifteen minutes, NBC??? Are you fucking kidding me???

The "Toady Show" spent FIFTEEN MINUTES discussing Weiner's dick this morning. FIFTEEN MINUTES!!! It was the lead story. Meanwhile, Arizona is burning to the ground, there was a day-time raid on Tripoli, more of the Midwest is flooding, Austan Goolesby is leaving the administration, and preparations are being made for a state visit from German Chancellor Merkle. And, that's the important stuff I have been able to glean from other sources. God knows what else is going on because our pathetic, scandal-obsessed media is more concerned with this bullshit. Disgusting. Just disgusting.

1. Only 15 minutes? I'd figure them for a good half hour at least. Probably later in the show. nt

4. I'm not so sure about that.

I doubt my sanity constantly.
Of course, in today's world what is the advantage to sanity?

6. CBS's lead stories were about Iraq & Afghanistan, followed by the fire in AZ

They did mention the Weiner story but after the weather, I think.

8. CNN was worse

Looked like an all-Anthony morning. Totally ridiculous.

Wish they'd go after Wall Street with the same fervor they're going after this.

9. I usually watch a little bit of American Morning on CNN

But this morning it was all Weiner, all the time, and at the mention that they were bringing Breitbart out to gloat, I almost barfed up my coffee. Sucks when people like that are actually right.

10. It's only a problem if the coverage lasts over 4 hours. Then call your doctor.

11. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Why don't you change the channel?

You could be getting more news in 10 minutes time on another channel than in an entire month of NBC.
