A brief overview of the major news stories tonight. Guess which has top coverage?
1)Robin Williams
2)Ferguson, MZ
3)Iraq
4)Ebola
5)Gaza
6)Tony Stewart
“Nevermind that s—t....Here comes Mongo.”
Williams is a big story on FR as well.
To which I replied, "And with the world falling apart around us neither could Obama."
I don’t like that argument. One could say the same for all news! Why give Moslems the world over publicity? I think it’s absurd.
I liked Robin Williams a lot and I am sorry that he did this but Fox has gone overboard. MrD is watching but I had to leave the room. Enough already.
It’s the same crap with the Nigerian black school girls being kidnapped and Moselle and her 9 billion celebrity friends spend the next month holding up signs “Bring back our girls” but the genocide of Christians going on the in the middle east? *Crickets* *Crickets* It’s called “selective outrage” ..Outrage that is based on racism and bias.
but so goes our shallow, empty hollow headed populace.
If it had happened on the weekend, Fox may not have got to it until Monday afternoon.
Nothing at all wrong making Robin Williams the top story tonight. He was an American icon, much-loved, and people are still finding out about his death. It’s news. There are other, bigger stories in the world, of course, but this is the big story right now.
Depends on whether there were any missing white girls.
No kidding, and the truth of the matter is that Robin offed himself while the ISIS “decapitants” were not “willing paarticipants” unlike Robin. I think I must live in some parallel universe because the lead story should be the carnage in the ME.
NBC led with Ferguson.

FOX news is rapidly becoming a second rate TMZ.
I could not believe what I was seeing after 10 min Gretta was going on and on, then it got totally out of control. You think that Aliens landed bringing a cure for cancer and a million bucks for every one on the planet!
So I tune into Megan’s show to see the latest news and all I get is an hour of Robin Williams. OK, I will watch the rerun on Hannity. Well, all I get is a special from queer bait on Robin Williams. Enough already. James Garner died the other day and I think he was twice the actor and he did not get more than 5 minutes. Unbelievable.
IKR? It’s wall-to-wall Robin Williams coverage while chldren are being chopped in half in Iraq, people being buried alive, diseases and armed criminals still pouring over the border, Ebola here or near, and the mobs have taken over St. Louis.
Guess none of that is interesting enough. Bread and Circuses.
Excellent
First lead on CBS. This is a nice diversion for Obama.
Time to move on and focus on the world on fire as Obama golfs.
