My internet browser opens with the BBC News. Really helps to see the whole world.

I hardly watch any television any more. During the Democratic primary for the last presidential election, I noticed a diffinite bias for Obama. Before the Clintons had gotten a free ride. But this time they were reporting her mistakes and lies. The press can sway an election by covering for whom they don't like and boosting the other one. Have you noticed that the news people have ignored Ron Paul, but in a lot of people polls, he's been on top.

I love Jon Stewart, he really can catch those news guys.

The cable company annoyed me a bit back in the early 90's, had the cable shut off and only missed the comedy station for a week or two. Now I can not imagine why any one would waste the money on the telly.
But I must admit those rare times I m in a motel I am a channel surfing fool.

I agree. I think it's pretty bad that the family seems to be using this to try to get another moment of fame. U.S. media should stop shoving stuff down our throats. Those who want it should go online. I think the same is true for every horrid event that takes place. And I think Murry is just a scapegoat for poor behavior. Only my opinion.

Scapegoat? He made his choices.
