Just to settle a future room-mate dispute...
Is screaming WTF at the TV an appropriate response to watching cable news shows?

1. I try to avoid it by not watching cable news shows.
But I'm known to give the finger to Fox News when it's playing at work.

4. I checked out the tail end of Larry King Live,
