Believe it or not...

there are other things going on in the world. MSM would have you believe that the universe is coming to a crashing end because of the death of one man...um, no sorry.

Yep, you got it...this is a rant. A rant about how I've not seen a decent news story about anything since Thursday. Okay...he died, it was sudden, it was tragic...and the Earth still went on turning and things continued on. Now can you, MSM, please continue on as well.

I would most sincerely like to be able to see what is going on in other places in the world and get my local news/weather without hearing about Michael Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I do occassionally break out into a rousing rendention of "Thriller" complete with dance moves...but seriously now.

A family friend put it this way..."You'd think Jesus had died all over again." I had to laugh and agree...it sure seems that way with all the coverage. MJ was no Jesus though, let's face it.

I'm just flat out tired of not getting to watch the news...I can't possibly be alone in this...can I?

It turns my stomache every time I see this crap.... And I know that I'll continue to see it for the next two weeks. The MSM milks a story until it's absolutely dry. Disgusting.... Yet the sheeple eat it up and beg for more....

I'm with ya Ozark Momma. Farrah died a horrible, painful death and all we hear about is the freak, pervert addicted to pain pills. Turns my stomach.

The media reasons the ratings for their endless parade of crap. However they dont take into account that when its the only story on, it gets watched. Then they say everyone wants more. Its a vicious circle. Kinda like when you go to the store to buy a product, and they say they dont have it because it doesnt sell, but they never have the item in the first place, so how do they know that they cant sell it!!!! ARRRGGGGG!
