Cable news has hit a new low
i didn't think it possible but it's happened.

Joe (deadgirl) Scarborough had the owner of a hair salon from The Runaway brides hometown on to gossip.

2. I thought it went lower than that when...
...one MSNBC show had a guy pretending to be Ronald McDonald on their show interviewing him. As impossible as it is to top what you have cited, it has happened.

5. You don't think he'd discuss the DSM, do you?
I didn't think so.

11. You mean the hairdresser, don't you?
I can't imagine Scarborough having any insight into it worth hearing.

6. I don't even bother watching anymore.
So far as I can see it's like watching a televised gossip column.

10. I think Scarborough is pulling in about 200,000 viewers a night
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 10:05 PM by xray s
So he is hitting a new ratings low too.

Really. All those shows on CNN and MSNBC are irrelevant. Nobody's watching. More people in America are picking dingle berries out of their butt right now than watching Scarborough.
