I made the mistake of looking at it because I'm off work this week and I wanted to compare. They had no English translation of the service that's going on, some twit is analyzing the stripes on the uniforms of the Swiss Guard, and then they just ended up talking over the whole thing.

It's so disrespectful. Just go back to covering the Michael Jackson trial or something. It would be better than another half-assed attempt at "reporting."

I feel better now.

2. As a human, FAUX is unwatchable all the time.
I don't know how anyone can watch that filth and not explode.
They are worse than airing x rated movies on prime time.

There is nothing worse than a lie!

3. As a thinking, caring, rational human being, FOX is always unwatchable.
Just kidding. I know exactly what you're saying. I actually flipped between CNN (ick!) and MSNBC (yuck!) quite a bit to watch the Pope.

I'm a Catholic, too.

11. Yes, they didn't step on it. I couldn't understand the language but
could tell when they were singing the Saints names and replying "pray for us" in Italian or latin, I assume latin. It sounded beautiful.

6. I switched to EWTN - it's a little better.
But honestly, why do the Media believe that absolutely everything must include a COMMENT? Yak-yak-yak. Shuddup already - I want to hear the music!
