Schiavo, the Pope, the Royal Wedding -- all over. What will MSM do now?
That's all they've been talking about for 2 solid weeks at least. Now will there be some real news? Can we talk about the nuclear option? About Delay? The real story on Commander Bunnypants' judicial nominees? The wounded soldiers coming home under the cover of darkness?

I'm sick of fluff stories -- so much that I've been watching videos or reading.

6. How could I forget Michael?
and all those pathetic sheeple who hang out outside the court chanting hysterically: "Michael's innocent, Michael's innocent."

3. 24/7 coverage of the election of the next Pope
Never mind that the conference is held in secret--the MSM will set up camp outside and report that there's "no news yet" until the next Pope is elected.:eyes:

5. Oh crap. I forgot about that.
With the public distracted, the senate will go nuclear and Delay will get a slap on the wrist, if that.

8. Get used to the new guy
Edited on Sat Apr-09-05 09:19 PM by Rockerdem
There will be blanket coverage of his "election" and the suspense. Then be prepared for the gushing stories about his past . . and agenda . . . and homophobia . . .

No, skip the last one. The press pimps would never bring up his institutionalized hate. But they will swoon ad nauseum for the rest of his childhood and . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

They still have the Michael Jackson trial. And very soon, they'll be starting 24/7 coverage about the new pope.

12. When's Prince Ranier's funeral?
Now that the royal wedding is over, I would think the MSM would be stampeding over to Monaco.

14. The insane fucks at CNN Radio are already promoting the Jackothon by
floating the possibility that Macaulay Culkin may possibly testify.

Now that's news.

17. If the Jackson trial winds up early, they'll just find a Dem to slander
It's so far beyond predictable, it's not even funny anymore.
