Greta Van Jackson Trial is now highest rated 'news' show on cable
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 05:17 PM by Adenoid_Hynkel
beating o'rielly and hannity and the rest of the fox goons.

once again proving my old point-fox isn't the highest rated channel in news because americans are inherently conservative and tend to gravitate to conservative hosts-

it's because it's the jerry springer of news-nothing but sensationalistic, lowest common denominator drivel (accompanied by the 'woosh' sound effects)

the danger in it is that the morons who tune in for the excitement are subjected to the propaganda of the hannity and o'reillys.
the subtle conversions are what makes this 'news' channel so dangerous

1. Well at least she's a "librul" ... her husband worked on the Kerry

2. Yep, it's the 'sensationalism'
Entertainment news, flashy graphics, light fare.

Real news delivered professionally is such, like, a drag.

3. Somewhere Jesus is weeping.
Seriously, somebody should be keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't hurt himself or others.
