When will FOX stop?

When will FOX stop their never-ending, obsessive coverage of these Court cases? It has gone way beyond the normal--it is totally obsessive.

Is there anything viewers can do to call an end to this? Every FOX host must be obligated to spend at least 30-45 minutes per hour on Court cases.

There are other news events ocurring. There are other news topics that provide interesting discusssion.

Must FOX fill 60% of their news time with the same obsessive coberage of Cort cases?

Help !!!!!!!!

I recommend turning off the TV. If anything breaks, you'll get it here first anyway.

Just change the channel.

It's a relatively easy thing to do unless, of course, one has become a brain-dead, knee-jerk, robot-like Liberal, Democrat or Progressive.

You'll be happy to know that the Cartoon Network has 0 % coverage of trivial things like an innocent woman being murdered by a judge in America.

How about if we just start with Greta's time slot and work from there?

CNN is doing Global Warming, Woofies trip the "other side." Would that qualify for "worthy?"

Turn off the TV and read a book.

I stopped watching the tube unless I was eating a meal, which is when I would watch the news for a few minutes, in 1997 and can't even begin to estimate how many months of life I've gotten back. Why this obsessive need to watch? Go do something else with your precious life.

Ok, calm down. The first step is admitting you have a problem.....

Help !!!!!!!!

See those pretty buttons with numbers on the remote? Those let you change the channel. You can use those. Barring that, there's another button on that remote. It's marked "OFF."

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

To be fair, these cases have been covered by just about all of the cable news channels -- Fox, CNN, MSNBC... They all do it.

The Schiavo case is the latest. Last week, it was Michael Jackson and/or Robert Blake. Michael's case is still going on...but alas, he has within the last couple of days been pushed out of the limelight. Hardly even mentioned.

I can't watch all of this either. Does it make me a terrible person? Ok...but sorry...I can't handle a steady diet of nothing but screaming headlines and talking heads.

Nothing wrong with Cartoon Network or maybe an old movie. Comedies in particular are good. Help to clear the head of all the serious stuff. We all need a little of that clearing.

They have to have something to fill up 24 hours non-stop. I for one don't even turn it on unless there is something I have seen on Freerepublic that they might be covering.

Watch a movie!

Sometimes the news is just too bleak. One verse of the Royal Canadian Mounted Yaksmen song, and I'm good to go fight another day.
