Okay...if I'm off-base, then flame me. But DH and I are fuming this evening to come home from work to learn that Fox News spent the 6-7 PM NEWS hour with Shep Smith crying over Michael Jackson. UN-FRICKIN-BELIEVABLE! There is so much crap going on in this country, the world, the economy, 10% unemployment, Congress/Obama getting ready to shove cap-n-trade down our throats, he and the big-she having a laeuiu at the Whie House...what in the hell is going on! The whole damn world is in fire! I'm so ticked off to not hear the Bret Baer news hour....what a frickin joke on the part of Fox News! And they want to be taken seriously?! Geesh! Enough already!
Amazing how much reporting and “crying” over a pedophile!
Right now it’s an Al Sharpton mouth-a-thon on Fox.
Give it until 2000 Eastern Time when the Gay boy Shep uis off the air........I can gauruntee you the coverage will not be as filled with utter CRAP, after Tinkerbell Shep is off
BTW, lose the TV doesn't mean w/ a 12 gauge, unless you are in the country and won't get in trouble.... Simply dump it at the curb and 30 minutes later it is gone.

The Cap N trade, the healthcare bill, which Obama says is care not good enough for his family....
lots of stuff more important
When do the riots start?
Right there with you, I had to change the channel.
>>Right now it’s an Al Sharpton mouth-a-thon on Fox.<<
So who had sharpton on the “TV whore” pool?
NCIS marathon on USA and no Breaking News interruptions.
Drama Queen Tinkerbell said about 30 mins ago of Micheal Jackson’s death “ in the coming days this is going to turn into a American event “ .....
Stories like this one take the spotlight off the economy, Obama, unemployment, healthcare and the other depressing doom-and-gloom daily issues. People are drawn to it as a sort of bizarre escape. It gets huge ratings; I’m betting it will be a top story on all channels for weeks.
Well it’s not like there is at this very moment the most destructive legislation to the Republic ever unleashed making its way thru the corridors of corruption. Oh, wait...
Bread and circuses.
Thanks. I ended up at “King of Queens”.
sigh.. thousands of folk will crowd together in numerous locations to pay homage to MJs passing. swine flu pandemic declared a couple weeks ago.
BumP the Rev. Al overload
Michael touched a lot of poeple in a lot of different ways.
a comment by a commentator w/Shep the wonder pony
FOX has spent from 7-7:44 pm on it, too, and by 8 pm I expect that it will have been the entire 7-8 pm newscast.
Lets face it, Michael Jackson is a bigger audience draw than world news, shamnesty, cap and tax.
