So yesterday I was getting ready to take on the day with hopes of getting a good 15K run in along with some badly needed yard work. By basic routine these days, I flipped on the TV as some background noise and a final check of the weather. To lazy to worry about changing the channel, I left it on CNN Headline news which I interpreted to be “headline news” or “news I should care about”. Here are the first three stories I was subjected to:
- 101 year old is still driving around her Cadillac
- A pressing concern because Scott McClellan will not say whether he is still a Republican or not. … yeah, the guy who waits till election year to claim “it’s not my fault” and try to make a few bucks off an election year drama
- Wife of San Francisco guy who hired a naked maid off of Craig’s List (and surprisingly stole $40 grand or so) believes the trust is gone in their relationship – complete with shadowed room interview.
That was three leading stories which means there were at least 6 commercials for tax resolution lawyers, 3 commercials for ambulance chasing lawyers, 4 commercials for how to get a free mobility chair from the MediCare, 2 head ache commercials and the garden cultivator which consists of sticking a paint mixing bit on a drill and then sticking it in pre-tilled potting soil. All that for three stories… correction.. three HEADLINE stories. … Find Remote, Click Remote…. I can get better written stories, more pertinent to the real issues I care about and not be inundated with stupid *ss commercials by simply logging into my computer and checking my RSS Feeds.
I will not be wasting my time with Robin anymore I’m no longer buying their fabricated drama. Ironically, I was reading the paper waiting for my dogs to take their agility runs today and there was the answer in black and white… Iraq violence is at a near low… they apparently have nothing to talk about since that is contrary to their drama, conflicting with their agenda. So instead of reporting the successes, we get the naked maid and resulting infidelity concerns.
sad.
