A new low for CNN.
Just on with some galoot talking in a very tongue-tied way about his (former) gf BITING HIS TONGUE OFF!?!? She actually bit it off and spit it at him.
Cut back to the reporter who is just laughing his ass off.
Then realizes what he's doing and goes dead-pan..."But seriously folks, this isn't funny, blah blah blah"
I'm going over to Faux.
jeez

1. I was pretty disgusted yesterday....
when they called Laura Bush "the first comforter" in their promo for her being on Larry King Live next Monday. That was just so absurd.

4. The first comforter, so she's large, fluffy, and filled with down?
CNN is so lame.

2. true
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw their pictures but as a reporter he should be above this. I'm sure FOX ran the story as well.

5. Folks... You Simply MUST Stop Watching CableNews-Anything.
There's no two ways about it. Give it up. (Or we'll have to stage an intervention at your home... and it won't be pretty.)

6. So Allen said...
"trof, don't you know your Friday night card game is fixed? They're cheating. That's why you never win."

"<sigh>, I know, I know, but it's the only game in town."

7. You don't like
what one reporter did at CNN, but you're going to turn to FAUX now for your news?



That makes a WHOLE lotta sense :eyes:

9. listen to NPR
They stream news all day. If you need a TV fix, watch the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and Now with Bill Moyers. Lehrer does kiss Rove's ass but his lips are lower down than the commercial networks.

10. That's my evening news, the News Hour.
The most honest TV news we get.
I also like ABC which comes on just before down here.
CNN is kind of like chewing gum. It's just noise with an occasional interesting tidbit.

11. Miles O'Brien - I was shocked too...
However, in his defense, I laughed too when the guy told the reporter that, after his tongue was bitten off, "I picked up my tongue and left."

The man went thru a terrible trauma, granted, but his comment about picking up his tongue and leaving struck me as being funny...
