    Ok, ever since 911, the slightest thing that happens gets harped about on that channel all damn day.

    For instance, this morning there was a small blast in New York city in front of the British consulate and it's all they seem to talk about, oh and Jennifer Wilbanks.

    No one was hurt.
    I swear their repetitive sh*t is annoying. There goes that news source for 24 hours. Must be a boring job to work there, harping on one damn thing all damn day.

    This has always been a criticism of the Clinton News Network. I think also with 24 hour news channels they are starving for content.

    Rather than turn to stories about "Puppies getting credit cards", they try to hype up non events.

    Sky news over here broadcasts every single story as "Breaking News". That also annoys me to no end

    Yeah, like what's the point. I don't really either, I like it on in the background cause I hate silence and all I hear is monotonous shit, "breaking news, breaking news, squak, squak, squak"

    Some days they seem to be on a fifteen minute loop. Other days you can watch all day and keep interested. Those days are few and far between though. They could search their own website for a few more articles to read on the air!

    Don't forget the would take a poll (conveniently not telling you that only 10 people were polled at an anti hamburg rally) abolut the dangers of hamburgers and then present it as a dangerous "shifting trend" away from the meat industry.

    I think it is the mind control frequency that they add to the mainstream new feeds that makes it so interesting. Presonally, I find that fashioning a hat out of tinfoil with a large spike on top allows me to filter this out and think on my own.

    Air America all the way! Rather listen to stupid crying liberals than a republican tell me social security is is not backed by anything. Since when are government bonds not worth anything? Why is one of the rep. talking points that they are stored in a filing cabinet somewhere? Where else should they be, under the matress next to the dead h00ker?

    Who is with me? If you are, fashion your tinfoil hats and move with me the the new country of Webmasterville. We will take over the wealth of the world one $.05 adsense click at a time. They will never see it coming!
