Yep, I tremble with glee!
That's the whole show in a nutshell.
" Put me on the news and I'll increase your ratings, CBS."
You can only warn the mainstream media that their overt partisanship and bias is going to lose them credibility and viewers.
When they fail to heed what people are really telling them and insist rather on telling the public what to think, then I guess we just get to enjoy their spectacular death spirals.
Enjoy!
There's nothing like the sound of gnashing teeth and celebrities throwing up seeing the latest ratings and job cuts.
Looks like that Olbermann guy is going to gore everybody's cow trying to save his own skin. There is no honor among fools.
Man, THAT'S a trial balloon. Young Soledad must be running for the hills . . .
Out of curiosity I watch her for the first time last night (and the last)
Proving that Democrats can't find good news in any story, This is what she said about the DOW Jones Historical high numbers last night - "It took six weeks for the DOW to go from 10,000 to 11,000 in 199?, BUT it took 7 Years for it to go from 11,000 to 12,000". Never did she mention that we had a little event called the inflated Tech Stock bubble and its burst (both caused by Clinton), and then 9/11 and two wars that followed that.
She followed that up with a comment that she has a hard time finding any good news now days, but she found one good news story which led into a sports story.
The perky one going down??? Time for a trip to visit her colon, I assume! /tacky sexist sarcasm
And more good news from the Drive By Media...
NBC Universal makes $750M in cuts by reducing staff, scripted shows, news budget
NEW YORK (AP) - NBC Universal plans to cut US$750 million in operating expenses by the end of 2007 by eliminating employees, cutting back on scripted shows, and slashing its news budget, according to a report Thursday in the Wall Street Journal.
The moves come as more and more viewers and advertisers gravitate toward new media, NBC Universal chairman Bob Wright told the newspaper. He said the moves would restore the company to double-digit growth next year.
Well, Flavor Flav does have those the whole neck-clock thing going on. Maybe Katie can rock a big Movado looking clock on Friday and try to steal back the ratings....
The era of the big star and egos are over; that's not what people tune in to see anymore. That era is gone -- with the Dan Rathers and Barbara Streisands.
Most people would prefer somebody who's just good -- to an overinflated superego; that's why the Hitlers and the Saddams don't attract a following anymore. That era is gone.
What they need is just competence and ability -- and not more hype and sensationalism. The tragedy is that these people read their own press releases and believe they are as good as their publicists/agents tell them they are.
After they reap their millions, they move on to feed on another carcass.
You gotta start wondering what Flav's nickname would be for Katie. Hopefully, he would come up with something less tiresome than 'Perky'.
Oh wait, didn't she do her colon exam on national television already?
She peaked too early.....
Oh that's good, cruel but good!
Susan, you ignorant slut.
Oh really, Susan?
Katie worked well when she was on morning TV, which is just background filler TV for hotels, restaurants, and airports. Nobody watches anyway, it's just on in the background while people eat breakfast and scan the morning paper.
Now that she's front-and-center on the evening news and people really started watching, the inescapable fact is that she sucks bad.
