Media Coverage?

Tuesday evening I turned on the television and flipped through the cable news networks hoping to find some quality political rhetoric to feed my addiction. Only msnbc of all of the news networks had anything related to, Iran, Iraq, the hostages, Gonzalez, and an assortment of other issues. Even more frustrating was that the show that was broadcasting these topics was none other than Keith Olbermann, and wait it gets worse. Who do you think his guest was? Perhaps a Senator talking about the passage of the non-binding resolution? A fellow news commentator perhaps? Maybe it was a military general or an expert on American Justice? No it was none other than (drum roll) Bill Maher. AND IF THIS WASN'T BAD ENOUGH!! Would you like to take a gander at what CNN, Fox News, and NECN were covering at the time? The mind bending Anna Nicole Smith saga. Are the networks getting paid off by the government or something? Honestly with all that is going on today in the world why are people so mesmerized with the death of a self-destructive sub-B movie star, and events surrounding her tragedy? I'm not really sure that people care... however it is being force fed to us, as though we do.

Kate cooked me a lovely chicken stir-fry meal tonight. Thanks as always! The food and good company was a delight.

Now I've just noticed that the new Jericho episode just got put on CBS.com so I'm going to check that out as I get into bed.

What did people think of the South park tonight? For the most part I thought it was kind of lame. Also it seemed a bit of a repeat of a Oprah episode (this time Hillary Clinton, or Hill-dog as Parker and Stone dub her).

Have a great Thursday... and stuff.
