What's the difference between "news" programming and the Jerry Springer show these days?

This is why I’ve given up on the “opinion” news shows including the Fox nightly line up. It’s just different people arguing over each other about the same subjects night after night. I saw a clip of a 1962 episode of Meet the Press and it was people arguing about the same issues we see nightly on Hannity, etc. Nothing changes but the faces.

For the last year, I’ve pretty much given up watching O’Reilly and Hannity for the reasons you mentioned. However, the best, bar none, political show on any cable station is Greta’s on Fox...no yelling, no talking over each other...no panels...long segments, between 5-10 minutes..and one on one with a guest....she allows them time to speak....

Anderson Cooper holds a BA in wordsmithing from Yale liberal arts college and is an ex=game show host...ROFL

Gohmert is an ex-judge and judge advocate in the US military. Also he has access to confidential intelligence that Anderson wouldn’t even USE if he had it and it did support a national security hole.

Plus Gohmert had the audacity to introduce HR 1503 to amend electoral ballot qualifications to include a birth certificate.

So ex-game show host Cooper got his marching orders from Axelfraud to demonize Gohmert.

Sorry, Cooper, NO BANANA!

I get nothing out of watching two people (sometimes more) casting insults in each others’ faces and talking over one another at the top of their lungs.

It becomes TOO emotional and ‘where there is emotion, there is NO substance.’ Right?

It has be more than 3 years since I watched ANY of that stuff.

Doesn’t matter where the little jihadi is born. It gets the same hate-filled indoctrination no matter where it is born.

Is that what that was about last night? I surfed by CNN last night, and Cooper was fein-bulging mad. I thought maybe someone was on making arguments about Gay marriage or something. I surfed on, as I usually do when I see Anderson Gay on the tube.
