It is absolutely INFURIATING. It is the dumbing down of our news. CONSTANT stimuli designed to work up the listener into a state of fear and alert. Keep the morons glued to our network. Fox is terrible at this. Likely the worst. EVERY g-d damn time Greta comes back from break, I had that annoying bonnnnnnnnnng sound, and she is ready to go, slurring "It'sh a foxsh newsh alert" like she did in the earlier break. And the break before that.

Sean Hannity is even worse. Every commercial break: bonnnnnnnnnng OK, everybody, it's a Fox News Alert. Breaking News: Police are STILL* on the hunt for 3 men..."

*Breaking News. "Police are STILL..." ? Does he not get that breaking news should not include STILL--the STILL means the news is STALE. At least Ted Baxter is smart enough not to do it--gotta hand it to him.

Face the facts. We are in the death throes of our civilization. The left has dragged us into the Age of Stupidity, and we are either going to be destroyed, or we are going to "reset" like The Matrix. The news on TV is for 97 IQ betas and gammas, and THIS population is being supplanted/replaced by "Da Gimmedat" community, and the Turd World.

Nice reply. And I should throw in that the local news stations can be even worse when there is a snowstorm or a tropical storm moving through the area.

A typical snowstorm here in New England will mean that the local stations go "wall-to-wall" coverage. Even when there is absolutely NOTHING going on at the moment. They will send their reporters out there to do live shots and they will do their damnedest to drum up some drama. Whether it be twisting in the wind, hanging on to their hats or warning us "not to venture outdoors", presumably so we can stay housebound watching their coverage.

I refuse to even turn on the TV when there's a winter storm raging. I just throw some wood on the fire and crack open a book to read.
