I can't take it anymore! I'm cracking up!

We've got all hell breaking loose in Iraq and the Mideast. We've got the Dems in the Senate for the first time in history denying a bipartisan majority of senators their right to vote on judicial nominees.

You've got commentators saying the President should be "Hanged." Presidential candidates calling the President a "Gang Leader." Terrorists are threatening to blow us up just about every day. Environmentalists are threatening to blow us up if we keep driving our cars. PETA is threatening to blow us up if we keep eating meat.

Linda Vester is one of the smartest women in Television and what do they have her doing? They've got her talking to some grandma about how she feels about Scott Peterson.

Enough with the Talk Back Live/Dayside Garbage! Its trash! I want good solid political debate. I don't want to know what Ed from Sacramento thinks about Scott Peterson's facial expressions.

Hannity and Colmes has started a bad habit of beginning their show with Scott/Laci Peterson and calling it their "Top Story." Thats not a top story.

Soldiers being attacked or attacking is a top story. bin laden or Saddam being captured is a top story. People must still be watching or they wouldn't be showing this awful crap!

I want good political debate. As much as I detest it, I would much rather hear Hannity debating with Liberals rather than Scott/Laci/Kobe/.

I've told this story I'm about to tell before, but I'll tell it again for the sake of this commentary. One night I went to bed with the TV on. I woke up in the middle of the night to hear someone screaming.

I quickly looked up and around only to see that it was Rita Cosby screaming at this newspaper editor on TV.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" she screeched!

"THIS IS CENSORSHIP! ARE YOU CRAZY" she screamed!

The story goes that a newspaper editor in Colorado got so many complaints about the over coverage of Scott/Laci/Kobe that he ordered a blackout of the story in his newspaper.

Rita had the owner of the paper on as well at the same time she had on the Newspaper Editor. The Editor was sitting next to Rita, and the owner of the paper was LIVE via satellite.

The owner said that he disagreed with the decision not to cover the Peterson case and Kobe Bryant but that he deliberatly left these decisions up to his editors.

Rita attempted to get the Owner to then fire the editor on the air.

"I THINK SOME CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE AT YOUR PAPER SIR! THIS IS CENSORSHIP! YOU NEED TO GET SOME NEW EDITORS!" Rita yelled.

"WILL YOU BE FIRING HIM?" Rita asked.

The owner replied that he didn't think termination was neccessary and repeated that he disagreed with the decision but that he lets the editors make all the decisions.

"THATS RIDICULOUS!" Rita yelled.

If we get enough people to complain about this we can get this coverage stopped. Imagine how wonderful it would be if Foxnews were to order a complete blackout on this story just like the Newspaper Editor in Colorado did.

Rita Cosby would be looking for a new job!

We've got the numbers in order to influence them. I'm pretty sure O"Reilly is sick of the Laci Peterson stuff as well. When he tosses to Hannity and Colmes he has to say whats coming up on their show.

He usually shakes his head and says "Laci Peterson Again..." with a smirk on his face

Lets make this an ongoing campaign. Boycott Scott Peterson, Laci Peterson, and Kobe Bryant!!!

Greta can have her little legal discussions but keep them ON The Record and Off shows like Hannity and Colmes and Dayside!

You can tell Bill O'Reilly is sick of it. On his segment tonight with Rita, he was downright rude with her, all but yawning in her face while dissing Peterson. But they all get their marching orders from Rupert the Tabloid King. So if they want to keep their jobs, they gotta go along with it.

Lou Dobbs makes everyone at FOX look like bloomin' idjits.

Lou has a meaningful program every day, chock full of intelligent discussion on very important topics. Lou's got 'em all beat.

O'Reilly went Kobe tonight. F&F had Corzine on this morning. He's worse than Kobe. Hell, he's worse than OJ!

Maybe so, but as long as his show's on CNN, I'll have to take a pass.

I also never watch network news, especially that given by Commie Tommy Brokaw, Canada Peter Jennings, and Devil Dan Rather. If you watch their shows, you're going to get their junk all over you. You'll stay frustrated with all the slanted coverage, bias, sensationalism, reverence for the trivial and disco-fied, and all the other attitudes that make ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN such a slime bucket to behold. What you get from those networks today is not a newscast, it's a visual cesspool I have no desire whatsoever to observe. Anything I want to know about the world at large I get here or on Rush's website.

Take a deep breathe and switch over to Comedy Central or TLC. You need a break.

I am in full agreement with this comment. Take a break. You will go crazy.....I think a lot of us on free republic get close to a meltdown just listening to cable news one time or another. Have a cold beer....or some herbal tea and a sominex and pack it in for the night. Tomorrow is another day! :-)

I am sick of the Scott & Kobe network as well. I have taken to switching to MSNBC, local news or (hitting head on gypsum drywall nearby) CNN Headline News.

I think that actual news coverage of national stories of interest is more expensive than paying for the stable of "experts" that sit and repeat speculation about the two hot stories of National Enquirer and Fox management is riding on their rating and trying to keep cost down.

The half dozen guys with guts over there ought to get the boss in a back hallway and, figuritly, kick his ass for being as short sighted as an Enron Board member.

They need to forget the quarterly numbers and concentrate on taking the mantel that CBS used to have fifty years ago.

I actually have been switching over and watching Scarboro Country the last couple nights. It is very pleasant.

Democracy is messy and usually leads to tyranny after some period of time. I think it is the reason the founding fathers gave us a free republic and challanged us to hold on to it.

You rarely hear anyone say anymore, "It is a free country you can do whatever you want."

The two worst things to ever happen to FoxNews are named Rita and Whorealdo. At least Greta has a brass pair, so to speak.

I could have told you that prior to the first showing of Dayside. It's just another talk show. That's all. Silly, stupid, unimportant, beat a topic to death. It's all the same. Stupid and silly.

Obviously most people disagree with you. That's why Fox News does Peterson and Kobe. Their ratings go up.

Television is about ratings, you don't put on a show for a viewership of one.

Steep grade up ahead slow me down makin no time

those windshield wipers slappin out a tempo
keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
gotta keep rolling

Ooh I'm freeping my life away, freeping for a better way, for me
ooh I'm freeping my life away, freeping on a sunny day

Well the truck stop cutie comin' on to me
tried to talk me into a ride said I wouldn't be sorry
but she was just a baby
Hey waitress pour me another cup of coffee
pop me down jack me up shoot me out flyin' down the highway
lookin for the morning

Ooh I'm freeping my life away, freeping for a better way, for me
ooh I'm freeping my life away, freeping for a sunny day

Well the midnight headlight find you on a rainy night
steep grade up ahead slow me down makin no time
gotta keep rollin
those windshield wipers slappin out a tempo
keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
gotta keep rolling

Ooh I'm freeping my life away, freeping for a better way, for me
ooh I'm freeping my life away, freeping on a sunny day
