MSM - STFU!!!!

I'm so sick of hearing about the damn plane over Manhattan. It's OVER. The guy has been FIRED. The picture has been RELEASED. It's OVER. SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: Heaven forbid they might cover TORTURE or HEALTH CARE. I imagine the next story will be about mustard. (Now turning off television and going about my business.)

1. Husband, who likes to think that he is Conservative until you

question him, watches CNN in the morning. His designation for the media is the pooh-flingers.

He called into the living room the other morning and said the pooh-flingers are still at it. Get over it.

I haven't told him about Dijongate yet.

I don't know why he watches. He hates it.

2. I was watching that dim bulb woman on MSNBC - Alex.

As soon as it stops raining I'm going out to the garden.

3. I wonder if y'all watch to get your blood boiling, then rush out to do

some physical work at a break-neck speed.

My yard looks fabulous, BTW.

4. Didn't You Know? New York Is The Center Of The World...

Washington is a close second. If it happens anywhere else, it really didn't happen. But since most the corporate media is in New York, to use the old Jesse Jackson line...when they sneeze, the country gets a cold.

Coverage of torture and health care aren't sexy...no pictures or other bait. As we've seen many times, these stories are beyond both the intellectual honesty and work ethic of the corporate media. They don't inform, they sensationalize.

6. Don Henley had these creeps pegged a good generation ago..

And things have only gone downhill since then..

My daughter was younger than my youngest grandchild when this came out..

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You dont really need to find out whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down

Kick em when theyre up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when theyre stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance
and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!
