I am so tired of bullshit news stories.
I don't give a flying fuck about Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton, the Girls Gone Wild guy, Britney Spears or American Idol. I avoid these stories like the plague but at work they constantly have MSNBC on and I swear to god, I want to rip the TV out of the wall and set it on fire. Do people really think this qualifies as important news?

And is it news that Imus is a fucking useless piece of shit? He should have been off the air years ago! NOT NEWS!

1. And they
also are covering the judiciary committee subpoenas.

If people weren't interested in the celebrity stories, they wouldn't run them. But it's tiresome to read the same exact post every single time CNN isn't covering the war.

2. Smith will be on every station today.
Actually I can't wait to see the dad story already; maybe it will quiet down after a few days

3. Kill your cable
I haven't had cable TV in 15 years, and I've never missed it.

If they're playing this garbage at your workplace, just focus on your work. If it's playing in the break room, go out for a walk.

It's easy to stay away from BSTV. Either turn it off or leave the room.

4. Cable is included in my rent...
I usually just keep it on HGTV. I don't have to pay for it at home, at least...

5. deprogram them from satellite dish
I have never felt better CNN, Faux, MSNBC all of them are gone. I do watch BBC News on occasion but do not do US news it isn't worth a crap anyway so I don't bother.
