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?

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...

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!

My TV has a remote control.
If you have not yet progressed to that stage I offer the following advice:
Get up from couch/chair/floor/bean bag.
Walk to TV.
Operate any button or switch not labeled 'volume'.
Continue operating said switch until the view changes or the screen goes dark.
In the event this fails, select another button/switch and continue as before.

Whenever the ugliness of the world is too much for me, I turn on Oprah so I can watch her and some brain-dead celebrity giggle for an hour.

Isn't it absolutely horrible that things aren't going your way?

Move away from the couch! It has seriously damaged your common sense.
 
Go for a drive, take a walk, read a book, go to the target range. You been watchin' way too much TV.

Fox's obsession with court cases, celebrity, and other tabloid journalism type cases stems from their history as being part of the Murdoch media empire. He brought the NY Post from obscurity to being a major player in the NY media by their coverage of sensational stories, and their ability to get the scoop on other more mainstream sources by sometimes less than ethical devices. He's continuing the trend with foxnews, and is reaping the benefits. They have been on top in the cable news ratings for a couple years now and don't foresee any sign of losing that lead for a long long time.
