You will never believe what is going to be on Dateline tonight.
"Pet Nation"
The world of pets and their devoted owners; President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush; pet-loving celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne and Nicollette Sheridan discuss the things they do for their furry friends.

Yet again I am at a loss for words to express my utter disbelief at the US media.

1. What?
They aren't going to talk about Michael Jackson and his pet goats?

2. How about a "Pest Nation"? You may want to call our Press the Pests.

3. You don't expect "Dateline" to be actual news, do you?
Come on. It's Sunday night sheeplefest.

4. Oh, so you hate furry little puppies and cute kitties?
We want to know about celebrity pets! So stop that liberal whining, adopt a pet and get with the program...

btw, I gave up on the MSM a long time ago.

8. That's fine, I'm relieved it isn't "Does Bush resemble Shroud of Turin"
or some other deifying slant.

10. Pussycats + Puppy Dogs = Ratings
Add babies to that list, too...and we'll leave that for other posters here to determine who the biggest baby is.

Dateline isn't a news show...it's an Entertainment show that pretends to be a news show. This is the standard fare for this waste of electrons...and who knows, someone out there might find this informative and entertaining.

At least this isn't being shown 25 times over the weekend on CNNServative with Paula Zahn wearing her knee-pads and running behind Pickles with a pooper-scooper.

Thank goodness for inter-league baseball! Plenty to watch this weekend.

11. Don't forget missing attractive white women
They're a big ratings draw/distraction as well. :boring:

14. Only When Scary Black Men Are Involved
If one's not available, an invisible Hispanic will work as well.

Black woman? Fat woman? Lesbian? Oh...forget them!

15. It's disgusting how the MSM tries to humanize
the morally repugnant by highlighting the loving relationships they have with their pets.

17. The other night KABC in LA featured on
"Eyewitness News" a segment on "How did Christ die?" They showed a couple of seconds of Gibson's movie, then they put up a graphic showing the cross followed by a list of medical terms like "thrombosis." I thought I was watching a particularly tasteless SNL sketch.

I never watch this crap. Only tuned in because of a commotion that occurred that day in my husband's office building that had attracted an Eyewitness News van.

It's all pure garbage. Springsteen had it right a few years ago. "57 Channels and Nothing On."

18. "But, but, our soldiers don't have body armour!"
"Shut up, American Viewer - desperate for answers. Just watch the cute kittens and puppies..." :wtf:
