I can only imagine how I'd feel if I were in Iraq right now and could see American media and their coverage of Robin Williams and Tony Stewart as the lead stories.

No wonder ISIS thinks they'll have their flag in the White House.

Tony Stewart is a story — but top five?

Well Robin will take Tony off the front pages.

Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye
Eisenhower, Vaccine, England’s got a new queen
Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye

We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning

Rich and famous isn’t enough for some people.....

Nothing wrong with giving ole Robin a few minutes. He gave us a whole bunch of laughs. Nothing much worth more than genuine laughter. It is TRULY a wonderful gift from God.
Williams made me laugh. And he is now dead by his OWN HAND: asphyxia! How horrible.

I'll say a prayer for his soul. He's with his Maker now.

It was the second lead on ABC tonight if I recall.

[Dixie Yooper]

Tony Stewart is a story — but top five?

If he had been driving an SUV, the SUV would have been blamed...

[Steelfish]

While the gay guy at Fox is anchoring a special while ISIS is butchering innocent men, women and chidden.

The rioting garbage should be #1 for now. Keep showing those damn jackasses doing their trash typical behavior. Looter Guy rejoice!

[ealgeone]

having to watch local fox 2 feed for news on the situation.

[dfwgator]

The rioting garbage should be #1 for now.

I have a dissenting opinion on that....Why give the rioters what they want most of all, attention?

[CodeToad]

Lol. Nice. I was thinking that!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

You’re talking about a ‘media’ that caters to the LIV. You should live in the UK. The ‘headline’ is EVERYTHING! Tabloid media is KING!

[AU72]

"Massive solar flare destroys Earth's electrical infrastructure"

But first now breaking, "Actor Robin Williams found dead!"

[Billthedrill]

Remember the Michael Jackson threads? :-)

[boycott]

Obama is happy to see the subject change.

[shibumi]

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I’m seeing every celebrity known to mankind expressing how “shocked” and “saddened” they are by Williams death, even the Islamic agent Obama.

And then you get to stories like children being beheaded in Iraq by the demon Muslims, which has been going on all week, and James Woods is the only one speaking up about it.
