CNN needs a "highway crash" channel!
Jeez! Every time I turn on the "news" today it's a some kind of bus/train/car wreck with the same 2 minutes of information being repeated on a loop. Maybe they should have an All Highway Wreckage channel so they could fit some actual NEWS on there!

1. In between crashes they could always show high speed chases.
That would liven things up a little bit.

2. That's basically what local "news" is
Edited on Mon Apr-30-07 02:44 PM by depakid
Car crash(s), who's been shot, what's burned down, weather 4-5 times an hour and a few sports clips.

Almost nothing about the community or what's going on in the legislature that affects everyone.

4. That's why I only tune in long enough to get the weather report
At least that has a distant possibility of being right.

5. Oh, they talk about legislation around here . . .
like when there's a gay marriage bill, or abstinence-only education bill, or mandatory pledge of allegiance bill, or flag in every classroom bill, or . . . well, you get the idea.
