8. Its not the news anymore. Its a freak show

If you notice what they report on, its all bizarre, lurid, sexual, or otherwise prurient interest for the vapid.

Its like the National Enquirer took over all the channels, with Rove faxing memos on what to say, how to look, with advice on background music.

It is utter and poorly done, propaganda, good for consumption of American Idiots.

I refuse to watch any of it.
