It actually pisses me off, because, frankly I used to fall back to FR for news and its lost a few steps lately with with primary rancor.
A lot of sharp people left, and they didn’t take the trolls with them.
Best news I can get my hands on all day is still the WSJ, and I KNOW that has its limitations.
My company makes an automated news aggregation system and I’m hear to tell you that getting decent information is a very big problem right now. It feels like the holes in organizations are getting plugged faster than before.
There was a site called ‘f*ckedcompany.com’ that was around from 2000 to around 2009 or so. People stuck in crappy companies would post memos and emails from inside the company to document the idiocy of what was going on inside.
Very good source of news back in the day about corporations. The comments by the CEO of FedEx yesterday reminded me a little bit of the candor you used to be able to find there.
Fox doesn’t want to spin, it doesn’t really want to be fair, and it doesn’t want to provide any news. It wants ratings, and they hire hot, smart women to deliver a slight variation of the same news you can get elsewhere.
The major difference between Fox and the others is that Fox doesn’t lead with Romney’s ‘secret tape’. It’ll talk about it, but after the obvious big news of the day, which is the goat humpers breaking out into ‘mating season’ in the sandbox and backward Asian nations. Fox still manages to get to it, but later.
During the day, even on FBC, its analysis, not news. Spare me. If you are going to do that, Nicole Petalides is going to have to go bare midriff.
FNC seems to have lost whatever gonads they once had. Weekends are a joke. Shepard and Oreilly the Ego are nauseating. I like the five to get into yhe mood after work, but I can only catch the last half or quarter hour.
We have Dish at the river house; is Beck on over the weekends?
