You mean America Idol is corrupt? Nooooooooooooooo, it just can't be!
How could it possibly be corrupt, everything else in America is so pure -- like torture, a for-profit healthcare fraud, WMD lies and a conspiracy to commit war, criminal banks, daily media propaganda, rigged markets, rigged elections, bigoted marriage laws, illegal surveillance, no-fly lists, paid-off politicos, war crimes like chemical weapons use and depleted uranium, anti-science religious lunatics, Justice Dept. fraud, herding protesters into "protest zones", poisonous imports, fraudulent real estate bubbles, illegal offshore tax havens and a daily conspiracy to cover-up every single crime ever committed.

3. AT&T provided special free voter calling services at two of the winner's parties.
Thus skewing against the better, IMO, contestant Adam.

It probably did not change the outcome, but it's still bullshit.

6. Thank you for the clarification, although...
I don't think "bile_juice" actually wanted any.

4. "Quiz Show" was a true story.
It's pretty funny to hear people defend television as a paragon of truth.

TV hasn't cared about the truth since the 50's.

8. Does the average DUer watch the evening news, or not? A real question....
Context is valuable but this story was all over the news and "context" leads or contributes to the frequent complaints about "length" of posts as well.

10. The average DUer probably reads the news online and doesn't watch the awful, televised M$M news
